[Waverley ARS] Hexbeams vs Buddipole

[Eric van de Weyer]

Hi Adam,

That certainly looks like an interesting beam. You could put one up in the
back yard and it would probably get mistaken for the clothes line. Could
also be useful where there is limited space to rotate a more conventional
beam and it doesn't look too bad aesthetically unlike some beams. 

I hadn't actually heard of them prior to this.

Hello list!

I just came across what looks to be an interesting kind of antenna 
called a hexbeam. Has anybody had any experiences with them? What were 
their cons?

One site I found lists a few pros as well as a little bit of a 
construction diagram, but they are really pushing their own products:

I'm considering building one for when I can go /P with HF, if anyone has 
a copy of the ARRL antenna handbook I could borrow (or even buy?) that 
has info on these, I'd be very much obliged :)


73s and Regards,

Adam
