Tnx to those who clued me in to the assembly time. Sounds like a couple of hours will do it. Not like the 24 or so hours to do a DB-18 - hi. Next question, there was a Hex beam that was reviewed in the last 6 months or so in QST but I don't remember the name or manufacturer. Can anyone help me out with the name? Tnx! Cheers, Steve K7LXC
