Re: [Elecraft] OT: Nice 5-band directional gain antenna
I am glad it works. It is a pity it is so large though. I would love one but 22ft! or 6.7m in diameter is a little too big for normal UK lots. I was wondering if designing a reduced size version for 10m 6m and 4m might be a good plan.

I'd be interested, same problem here, neighbours would start to wonder, maybe even complain. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own and depart. -Socrates (469?-399 B.C.)

Of course it will work great, just not on 20 and 15 meters.

[Elecraft] OT: Nice 5-band directional gain antenna
Having read the article in March QST by Leo Shoemaker, K4KIO, about the hexagonal beam, and meeting and seeing the fine work of the inventor of the predecessor Hexbeam at Orlando, I decided to roll my own using Leo's website as a guide. Construction is straightforward and fun. I ordered the base plate and fiberglass mentioned in the article, but you could easily substitute and make your own base plate. Testing at ground level verified the wide-band characteristic. I even made a few contacts on 20 and 17 meters with the antenna base 3 feet off the ground. It is now on a roof tripod and working beautifully with K3 #699 and an Ameritron ALS-600 amp. I can hear 'em and work 'em. FWIW, a great project with sunspots looming.
