The $25 Hexbeam Antenna Centre Post you can build easily.

This video covers the Hexbeam Centre Post used on my lightweight portable Hexbeam.
If you want to build, here is a link to the files you need (note these are still being updated)

Very good Colin.. Just had a thought.. Eventually, you could do a wrap-up video and run through all the thinking because I know you have done SO MUCH in the design of this..

[@MM0OPXFieldRadio]

Thats the plan. I will make an assembly video first then perhaps some additional like lessons learned.

Wow, your dedication to this project is outstanding, if I applied that much dedication to the wife, she might still be talking to me hi, but that's no too good either hi.
I hope you get vk/ zl everyday after all this effort. No offense, but still prefer my 10min vertical and on the air hi. Can't wait to see your final on air results. 73

I decided to not build this antenna.... But maybe I will have to:) For sure your videos will help a lot in a future. 73

[@MM0OPXFieldRadio]

I said I'm not building a Hexbeam either but here we are 🤣

[@jameyevans29]

Just a thought, you could use solid wire jumpers instead of coax. Straight pieces with ring terminals on each ends. Thanks for the video

[@MM0OPXFieldRadio]

Thats a brilliant idea, I wil take that forward. So the jumpers need to be the right sizes to be 50 ohms but thats workable.

@@MM0OPXFieldRadio ok, I thought about that but wasn’t sure 👍

[@MM0OPXFieldRadio]

Thanks again. Lots to work on to get right but the bones are these.

Haha

[@JayN4GO]

Have you been enjoying the performance of the hex? I know the bands have been in the crapper for awhile.

[@MM0OPXFieldRadio]

Great for the little time its been up. Had one before and it was like shooting fish in a barrel a lot. More often that not I would have worked the station before the Amp warmed up.
