| Not only do they look good, but they work great and they do not want to be 
installed too high above ground.  Much above 35-40 feet causes the pattern 
to break down.  I just wish I could add 40 meters, but that would be a huge 
antenna.  Several of us have brainstormed a 40/80 Hexbeam using seven 40-50 
foot telephone poles.

 The only down side that I see is these antennas look  "different" than
 
the
old style beams and some folks think they are not  "pretty". I personally
think  they look great.
   A guy was driving thru a neighborhood and  spotted a HexBeam up on a
roof. He asked the owner's son what it was and the son  replied "It's yard
art". There you go!
Cheers,
