Anything for radio.
Eventually I would like a roater that I could run from remote rig and aclog,
from my daughter's house.
That would freek people out, a turning antenna with nobody home.

Howard,
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you found the articles helpful.
I think you will find the hex beam performs well attached to your porch.
And, there's nothing wrong with the Armstrong rotor. That's what I used when
mine was on the patio table for those 5 months. I used the iPhone compass
app to get the bearings. I worked several new countries with the hex beam at
5 feet above the ground.
At least you have a porch. Mine was in the back of the driveway. I had to
put on boots and climb snow piles to turn it for several of those months. Hi
hi
73, Jim

Jim thank you for the three excellent and thorough posts.
My plan is to put the antenna together, mount it on a mast on the back
porch, to see how it works.
Later to add a roater that I can operate from the computer.
First, I will be using a calibrated armstrong roater.
The mast is right next to the door out to the porch, so a handle on the mast
will work fine.
Maybe next winter I may re-consider this low cost option.
Oh well I need the excercize of running up three flights of stairs.
It will do my blood sugar good.
