This is awesome Colin, I must have missed that in the instructions.
No probs. Its in Leos small print. Got to look hard for it.

Very fine Colin! Love the calculation.
Thanks. After doing this I remembered you spoke of one and found yours. Same thing, just packaged differently.
Mr. DXCommander, when will you be selling the DX Commander All Band 2000w SSB/CW/DATA Hexbeam? 😉 You could call it the DXBEAM.
Very inspirational! Thanks!
Your welcome 🙏
"In cold weather it really does get stiff." - I have a couple of knees like that.
Mine getting that way too....
Thanks Colin. Really looking forward to seeing your high band version 😊
If my new centre post idea works it will be even neater.
@@MM0OPXFieldRadio Are you likely to be sticking with the 11mm poles for the highband version or can you drop down a size?
I think I will as it will help stability. Could probably go to the 9.5mm poles if you wish as used these on the 15m Moxon and it has longer arms.
When you changed the length of the elements, did you also move their position on the spreaders?
Yes, you need to. Get your element length right first then set the tension.
Thamk you. I am thinking hard about getting a hex beam
You should!
Great video as usual! Im hoping to have a hex beam one day.
Go for it 👍
Thanks Collin,I m trying an hexbeam using pvc coated wire of 1 square mm of section.12m and 17m bands show roe>2 , and it increases with power.Do you have any tip for this?Regards
I suspect you may have some common mode current. Do you have a choke right at the feedpoint?
I have a question, on your 49:1 toroid video can I use 24g magnet wire? Of course using the 2661102002
Yes, I think it would be fine but its very thin to work with.
Do you see a difference in the hex vs the moxon for 20m?
@QRO293 I’m not sure why you mentioned a cob. I said hex and moxon on its target band.
Not a whole lot but its kinda subjective too. I did see more front/back with the Moxon but the Hex still had 20+ db. For practicality/stability the Hex wins too.
