Yep. I have a hex attached to a chimney bracket at about 24 feet. The
neighbors can't even see it from the front. I have 313 confirmed with this
modest setup. There are times when my better-equipped local buddies can
hear stations I can't, especially in the remote reaches of southern Asia.
But what the heck, I can't complain. I put it up in March 2011 and it seems
to be as good as new in every respect. Transmitting on WSPR with 1 watt, my
signal has been reported from just about every part of the globe. I have
nothing but good to say about the hex antenna.
