Hi all:
For those of you running hexs, do you know about this antenna from Radio
Waves out of St. Louis?
Its 42 feet in diameter and there's a height of 60, not sure if thats feet
or inches and it weighs at 36LBS. Not knowing what a hex looks like, is it
possible to have this beam being 60 feet high and how practical would it
be? I think the standard 5 band hex is probably just around 25 or so inches
so its likely the height of the barrett is probably 60 inches.
It costs 1500USD again, practical or would 1 be better served with a 5 band
hex for 600USD and add a 40M rotatable dipole for another 2 or 300? I'm
wondering if the 40M portion of the barrett would have the same performance
as say a Mosley 67 pro or Steppir's trombone element?
