Hexbeam Photo Gallery

This gallery shows photographs of the various HexBeam antennas I have constructed over the past couple of years. It is not meant to be a step-by-step guide to construction, but rather a potpourri of techniques which may give you some ideas for constructing your own HexBeam.

I tried to increase the Q of the Reflector by making it out of two widely spaced wires. This is the arrangement I used to keep them apart where they fixed to the spreaders.
