Its funny you should mention a hexbeam.
Because that's exactly what i was using. I just put it together, on the ground. 
The K4KIO one.
But since its only pointing in one direction for now, i kept switching between 
it and my vertical.
I guess the band wasn't as good as it was a week prior to yesterday.

Anyways, i'll try again next Sunday.
