Is anyone using a spiderbeam as a permanent antenna? In particular, I'd be interested in knowing it's survivability in areas where ice and snow are an ...
Hi John, I have a 5-band spiderbeam permanently installed on the roof of my house since February this year. It survived snow, ice and the heavy storms we had...

Hello, are there any experiences, tipps or ideas about a Spiderbeam on a tapered roof? (I hope it is the right word, we say "Spitzdach" in German, in opposite...
I dont know how the "DX rate" is :-) but there is 2 elements active on 12m and 2 elements active on 17m actually the gain and F/B data & pattern on 17m looks...
Hello, just one comment from me to this : Prior to my last visit in Bolivia, where I used the little 15/12/10m spider I also tried several designs based on 2...
Hallo Thomas, schau Dir mal die Bilder auf der Spiderbeam-Seite an. Es gibt ein paar, die auf Satteldächern oder auch Spitzdächern montiert sind. Der Trick...
Hi Everyone, Has anyone calculated the wind surface area of the Spiderbeam in ft² or m²? I'm trying to figure out if the (seemingly large) antenna will work ...
Hi Chris, the worst case wind surface area is approx 0.35 to 0.4 square meters. Depends a little bit on which value is used for the cw coefficient. I am using...
Hi Everyone, Does anyone have an accurate EZNEC file for the 20/15/10 and 20/17/15 or 5-band Spiderbeams? I would love to do some comparisons with my own...

Hi all, I'm going to build a Spiderbeam in the very near future, would Flexweave wire be a direct replacement for the "Wireman CQ-532" mentioned in the...
Jim In my humble opinion I would make sure that the'Flexweave ' wire does not stretch under load......if it does your antenna will becomw detuned and out of...
I have a TV rotor that says it is for the "Largest TV antennas" Because of the very light weight and symetrical wind resistance I am thinking it should be OK...
Hi all, OK I've decided not to use the Flexweave as I feel it may be too heavy as it's 14# What wire have you used for your Home Brew Spider and does it ...
Hello, much worse than the SWR Problem is the detuning of the parasitic Elements (Reflectors / Directors). If they stretch and change their length, of course...
... Hello, the wind surface are of the spiderbeam is approx. 0.35square meters. if I calculate right, 1 foot = 0.3048 meter, hence 0.35 square meters is 3.8...
... Hello Howard, well - even if the antenna has definitely been designed and optimized for portable operation a lot of people have put theirs up as a...
OK boys and girls, today obviously is question and answer day, so here is another round... :-) ... Before the first assembly you must manufacture the parts ...

The only specs I have on the rotor is that the turning torque is 175ft/lb is this enough? ... From: df4sa df4sa@... Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2004 14:22:32 +0200 ...
Sorry I have to recalculate to metric dimensions, otherwhise I am lost First, I think torque should be given in ft * lb, not ft/lb As far as I know ft*lb =...
Hi Con, 237.2681416 newton meters (approximately!) but close enough! Regards, Ian (G0IHK). ... From: "df4sa" <df4sa@...> To: <spiderbeam@yahoogroups.com> ...
Yes,You are right, but after I typed the ft/lb I didnt think anyone would have any problems figuring out what I meant....#8-) And they didnt. Yes, its a large...
Has anyone ever done a comparison, side by side, with field strength meters or calibrated receiving station, of the Spiderbeam against the Hex Beam?? If so,...
Ooops....I made a mistake in reading the specs of that rotor. It was 175 in*lb, NOT ft*lb, which translates to 20Nm which probably would NOT do the job. ......
Hi Con, Hi All there, I'm using a Yaesu G-400 with my Spiderbeam. The G-400 is the predecessor model of the G-450. Mine is about 10 years old. The G-400 has...
