[PaQSO] Herbs quest for a small antenna for 20-15.

[w3hkk at roadrunner.com]

Our club recenty purchased  the K4KIO hexbeam for 20 thru 10m.  Its on a push up mast at 35 ft, and has performed very well in  the CQWW DX Contest and the  ARRL 10M Contest.

It's light, easily put up, gives you 2 el performance on 20-15-10m plus 17 and 12m if you wish.  It can even be wired for 6m as well.  So for a few pounds of wire and fiberglass you have an upside down umbrella that really makes a difference on the bands.

So if you can spare $600 or so, plus a rotator,  you can hold your own on  20-6m. Maybe 20 db F/B and 3-4 dbd gain.  At 35 ft it really makes a difference.  Our guys are impressed.
