[HCARC] HexBeam Antenna

[John Canfield]

Very interested in a Hex-beam - been looking at K4KIO's version 
(http://www.k4kio.com), he has solid 5.0 reviews which is amazing 
considering that's 122 reviews!

Anxious to hear how yours works out Gary.  Can't make the club meeting - 
I'll be in Houston.

I just got in the last box of HexBeam parts for my NA4RR HexBeam (6/10/12/15/17/20) antenna kit.  This is the HexBeam that I have heard discussed most frequently recently (last 6 months) on the radio and it is based on the G3TXO enhanced HexBeam plans.  Anyway, I will be putting it together this next weekend after having cleaned, primed and painted the spreader arms to ensure the South Texas Sun’s strong UV rays do not damage the fiberglass arms any faster than is necessary.  This is the most reasonably priced kit on the market and has an innovative lay away program for those that need to spread the cost out over as many months as they desire.

I also have 4-5 copies of the assembly instructions for anyone who wants one.  Let me know in advance if you would like a copy so I can be sure to have sufficient copies.
