I'm diddling with the design of a homebrewed 20M hexagonal wire beam
a
la the Traffie Hexbeam. I have the driven element resonated at
14.150=B1 in the modeler. Now I have to add the reflector to the
model.
The question is how much longer should the refelector be vs. the
overall length of the driven element in terms of percenatge/scale
factor. I'm much more interested in F/B performance than I am in
forward gain. Does anybody who has been there have suggestions for a
starting point??

Tnx, w3rv


You might want to check out the Files section the hex-beam Yahoo
group.
There are several files there with detailed specs on home brewed
mono- and
multi-band hexbeams.

Thanks for the tip Paul, I'll dig into it.=20
