Hello, Hexbeam!

Image
My refurbished hexbeam is finally up and operating perfectly!  Got T2C on first try.  I'm planning for many years of good years of DX atop the 45G tower.  I mounted the Carolina Windom just under the top plate,  running NW/SE. The 35ft tower is constructed of a short base section buried 4 feet in the concrete, three 10ft sections, and a final section cut at 5ft to meet the local planning and zoning requirements.   I'm using an Yaesu G-800DXA Medium Duty  rotor and ROHN TB3 Thrust Bearing. Enjoy the video I recorded of W8S to compare against my dipole. 73,  Chris de WX7V
