The electrical design of this hexagonal beam is the same as the beam featured in the March QST article by the author. However, the mechanical details here differ
a good bit and are an improvement, in my opinion, over the mechanical design in the QST article. The construction details here are identical with those used in the
beam which I am offering for sale on another web site.
It should be noted that some less expensive techniques and materials can be used in the interest of saving money such as using zinc steel hardware instead of
stainless steel, a single flange instead of two flanges on the base plate, a center post with external wiring harness instead of the one featured here, and so forth.
