Yes, it does mean a TV rotator. It is made by Mike Traffie, I forgot his call and his family. You can find info at www.hexbeam.com Don, N4KC sent me a bunch of links for homebrewing one, you need to ge4t some specialized brackets and such. But, it sounds like a very nice, if only slightly compromised, beam for all the HF bands. Hexbeam is a bit pricey, but it sure sounds like they play pretty well even in marginal locations; and they appear to be pretty immune from wind and ice damage. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Fiorello" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 9:52 AM Subject: hex-beam Hi Steve and list: I can't help but get curious about this hexbeam? Who manufactures it? = I am familiar with the butternut minibeam and the old, long gone = miniquad but never ran across this one. Does a light weight rotator mean a tv rotator? Richard
