[TowerTalk] Trapped in antenna trap confusion

[Steve Hunt]

Bill,

You might also want to look at another small wire beam called the 
Hexbeam. It has a smaller turning radius than the Moxon, and can be 
built as a 5 band (20m thru 10m) version, or even a 6 band (20m thru 10m 
+ 6m) version.

Lots of info on my website: http://www.karinya.net/g3txq/hexbeam/
Detailed constructional info on Leo's website:

And a very active and supportive user group at: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hex-beam/

Good luck,
Steve G3TXQ
