10 reasons to get a hexagonal beam rather than a conventional beam
|
1. Good gain performance- Equivalent to two element yagi; some claim it is as good as three elements
2. Better F/R- The G3TXQ Broadband Hexagonal Beam by K4KIO has superior front/back performance over
a two element conventional yagi
3. Low VSWR across all five bands
4. Lower noise- Many users report that the hexagonal beam is an exceptionally quiet antenna.
5. Smaller size- Its unique shape gives it a smaller turning radius than a conventional yagi. (11 ft vs 20 ft for
conventional beam)
6. Lower weight- the weight of a five band hexagonal beam is less than most comparable five band multi-
band yagi beams.
7. Lower wind load- the symmetrical shape makes the hexagonal beam less vulnerable to torque from
winds
8. Reduced mast requirements- Most owners use push up masts or roof towers
9. No traps or tuning devices needed
10. Better portability- Can be disassembled quickly and reassembled with no re-tuning
