Hi,
I built the classic spiderbeam version for 10, 15 and 20m using HD fiber
poles available at spiderbeam website.
Then I add 2 shortened elements for 40m with separated feed line...I am
using coils to shortened.
My spreaders are 7m long (abt 23 ft long). To do that I install 3 guy ropes
from the top.
You can see some photos in the german website and also in my profile in
qrz.com
73 and GL,
Doug, CO8DM

Asunto: [TowerTalk] Any thoughts on spider-beams?
I'm toying with the idea of making my first lower-band beam a
spider-beam.
>From what I can see on their web-site, the lowest band they support is
30 meters.
Eventually I will want a light-weight 40 meter 2 element.
But that may be more than I can chew as my first attempt.
So I'm toying with the idea of starting out with their 30 meter beam kit
because its only 28 pounds and turning radius of 20 feet.
And since I'm toying with getting it up an AB-577 military mast, the
spider-beam minimal weight and size might make the process easier.
Does anyone have any experience with the Spider-beams?
I'm especially curious if the shipping cost is going approximate the
cost of the antenna?
Thanks
