Hi Steve,

Is your hex beam from K4KIO?

Mine is 21.6 feet diameter.  It's got 6 spreaders coming out from the
center, so it is as wide as it is long.

Turning radius is 10.8 feet.

height from base to top of  center post is 39 inches.   That may or not 
include the couple of    inches for the mounting thing below the base 
and the eye bolt at top of the center post.  either way, it's the better
part of 4 feet in height.

Since this thing looks like an upside down umbrella, the widest  part is at
the top, although it's not  much more narrow at the bottom.  Hope that makes
some sense.

73, Steve KW3A
