HexBeam is light, goes together quickly, rotates easily, can break down like
a tent and be packed in 10 mins...
LPDA like the T-6 actually does break down into sections less than 60" long
each, but it's a lot of parts to put together and take apart and requires a
much stronger support/rotator; otherwise might not be a bad choice.
