Performance results of the G3TXQ Broad Band Hex Beam
Building the G3TXQ Broad Band Hex Beam
Hear the difference in signal level from back of the hex beam as
compared to the front. This is an important measure of the beam
performance as you generally want less signals coming in from the
undesired directions.

These audio clips were recorded by G3TXQ in January 2008 from
switching back and forth every 3 - 5 seconds between one hex
beam and another aimed 180 degrees to the rear.
Station in Iceland on 20 Meters
Station in USA on 17 Meters
On air recordings to demonstrate front to back performance
These SWR data were measured at the radio location connected to
the hex beam with a RG 213 transmission line 60 feet long. The
antenna is 30 feet in elevation.
