\nSubject : K2JXW’s Hex Beam<\/p>\n
A few have been asking about the new Hex Beam that I just installed. I purchased it from Trafie Technology (see web site at http:\/\/hexbeam.com and was able to assemble it in less than an hour from a sitting position in my WHEELCHAIR. Mine is a 20M monobander, but 5-band models are available, albeit a bit pricey ($900 or so). The construction is supurb — every part fit exactly and went together exactly as described. Light weight (a pound or so) and compact (9-ft turning radius), this thing went up easily on a 30-ft fiberglass mast, again whilst in my wheelchair.<\/p>\n
Now, if you dont want to buy the commercial version, construction of an easy and cheap homebrew 5-band version is described at http:\/\/www.leoshoemaker.com\/hexbeambyk4kio\/general.html<\/p>\n
C U on the air with a signal about 3 S-units stronger than previously.<\/p>\n
