No witchcraft involved,  but just put up a Hex beam to replace the short 
boom 2 element tri bander.  I put it together yesterday and got it up on 
the mast this morning.  Just under 15 feet right now.  I don't think I'm 
going to extend the  other section until I have some sighted help to 
help me get the  thing guyed  while keeping it vertical.

SWR is super on the 5 HF bands, but resonant point is a bit high in the 
band on 6 meters.

This one came from NA4RR, one of the many purveyors of this type of 
antenna.   Parts seem to be good quality and with everything pre 
measured and pre cut, it's easy enough to put together with your eyes 
closed (so to speak).
