Hello to the group. My call is KC0LCL. Given a choice of running a Hex-Beam at 40' which is its reccommended height or Something like the KT36XA from M2 technologies at the same height. 40' is pretty

The first fundamental thing you should do is to look at your terrain vs the potential height of your antenna, using a program like YTAD (free with the ARRL Antenna Book. your 40' may be the equivalen

I have been running a KT-34XA, predecessor to the 36XA, for the last 20 years on a 48' tower. It works extremely well. I think the XA will make you very happy. Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ K6LL@ju

I agree totally with Pete. The Hexbeam is a compromise 2 el yagi with bent wire elements. It could not possibly compete with a conventional yagi with full size straight elements. The KT 34 class beam

I agree with Pete ... the KT-34XA was a maintenance headache for many people. The unbalanced 36 foot boom is also a problem for many under size towers and rotors. However, even the short boom versio

Actually, 40 ft is an EXCELLENT height for daytime MUF's. It will cover ALL of the higher angles supported by the ionosphere and is often (usually) better than 60 to 80 ft high antennas on 10 and 15M

M2 Sure. The LXC Imperative states to "GO with what you got". If all you've got is 40 - then go with it. It won't be as good as some but with a decent antenna, you'll have a ball with it and work lot

__________________ Hi Barry, I went through the same decision a few years ago. I own a Hexbeam and I can tell you that it will hang with any of the short boom multibanders. I've come to this conclusi

That's interesting about what Tom told you. I remember him giving a talk at Pacificon a few years ago where he said 2 dB makes a huge difference in a contest. The other thing to consider is that if y

OK, I'll go along with your first 4 dB as potential places for loss but you didn't substantiate your jump to "5 to 10 dB". The lack on an amplifier is the only justification I can think of, assuming

Hi Rick, Let's not forget that the receive signal improves too with increased antenna gain usually because the pattern is narrower and therefore, noise pickup is decreaed. I had a drastic improvement
