I just got back on 6m after 28 years !! what a hoot. Yes, FT8 for now... but I have put out a couple of CQ's on the CW portion and need a gain antenna. I am looking at either a Moxon or Hexbeam, gotta figure out what I want. Thanks for the video, 73, KB2QQM

Link in Description - I am really starting to like your channel sir. I came from the link on Kevin's "Old tech Guy" Channel. Was happy to see it was your channel it lead to.

Looks amazing! I will try to build one! Thanks Chuck!

That's a cool antenna!

Hope to hear you around the band, 6m is quiet out here in the central valley!

Which is better, the hexbeam or the Moxon? They seem like similar concepts.

Team replay for the win.
Sweet as! 6m my favorite band, I gotta get one of those.

Applause for trying! Is there any ham whose antenna experiment was troublesome? Doubt it! I am going to try something like this for field day 2022!

Thank you for making the video about the 6 meter hex beam I really enjoy watching it. And I plan on making me one of them. 73 AE4OY William Peacock EM-81UF (OldYella)😁

I cannot find calculators online anywhere. What resources did you find most helpful for modeling/measuring everything?

[mickbradley]

Wonder if it will tune to 433MHz also. (I have a 2m dipole with aluminium tubing which tunes on 433, 145 & 50MHz) Considering building a 10m & 6m hexbeam to use at home in the Summer here on South Coast UK. Cheers de G6ASJ.

Hi, nice video. I'd like to know if have some interaction to use aluminum spreader to fix the elements. I intend to build one for 5 bands and here in Brazil doesn't have fiberglass spreaders. Thanks best 73 from PR7TU.

YouTube has this weird phenomenon where people add a T to the word across. I've lived in opposite sides of some of those States from California all the way to Pennsylvania And I've never heard someone in person say "accrost" But I hear it on YouTube probably every day. My suspicion is that people are trying to enunciate their words and do it wrong. There are a few more words I hear frequently that a similar thing happens. I'm not criticizing I'm actually trying to find out if you Say it that way in person like some people say worsh instead of wash or if it is a YouTube thing
