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.

This is the "Heath Robinson" arrangement I used to inductively load the Drivers on my 10m Broadband testbed. Coils are wound on a piece of pvc pipe which is slipped over the spreader. Tie wraps hold the windings in place.
