You'll be happy. I worked a lot of DX with mine at 35 feet, not really any better at its current 55 feet, but I feel better. The first QSO I worked with it was S21ZEE with it sitting about eight feet off the ground.

Subject: [ADXA] Hexbeam is up

 

Put my hexbeam together this week and have it temporarily mounted on a ten foot mast in a hollow stump :-).

 

Enjoying a quieter radio listening experience. Little noise over the old quad band EFHW. CW on 20m will be a joy.

 

Nice to be back on 12 and 6m also. Added a bunch of dx stations on 12m yesterday afternoon and again this morning. Saw a lot of UN and EX stations being worked by east coast hams yesterday evening. Looking forward to some 6m action this spring.

 

73,

Scott/W5AAJ
