The G3TXQ Broadband Hexbeam is now available in kit form from Ant MW0JZE.
This compact 6 band antenna design is becoming very popular over the past year or so. Anthony MW0JZE is now producing the G3TXQ broadband version for sale as a complete plug and play kit.
This requires no knowledge of the antenna to assemble it and I can speak from experience as I actually assembled one of his kits on Ramsey island EU-124 during the 2009 IOTA weekend and if i can do it, anyone can!
The Antenna works extremely well and is comparible with a beam antenna. From my point of view the benefits are not only in performance but also, assembly time, very stable in windy conditions (compared with a 2 ele SteppIR hi) and its footprint is so small it can be accomodated in the smallest of gardens.
The Kit includes:-
|
NO CUTTING OR MEASURING REQUIRED
|
|
Centre-post with all coax housed inside for max waterproofing
|
|
Hub made from 6mm alloy plate and flange to fit 48mm stub mast
|
|
Six three piece fiberglass spreaders with support cords and element fixings fitted
|
|
Six wire elements ready cut with spacers fitted
