[SCCC] Hex beam antenna question

[Ryan Huggins]

Hello all,

Right now I'm running a wire dipole and I'm thinking about adding a hex beam into the mix, especially with how much fun this weekend's contest was, even with the wire in a tree.

I'm curious as to the group's thoughts on them and if anyone has any experience with them or recommendations for them. Right now, I'm looking at the K4IO hex beam and putting it on a push-up mast around 40-50ft when in use.

Also, are there any rotors that you'd recommend that connect into N1MM or N3FJP? The only one I've seen so far is the Yaesu G-450ADC and I do not know if it works with N1MM's rotor program. That's a "nice to have" feature but is worth looking into.

Thank you all in advance,
Ryan
