EAntenna HEX6B Six Band Hexbeam Antenna
EAntenna HEX6B Six Band Hexbeam is a directional HF antenna for the six Amateur bands 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6 meters. This design follows the ideas of G3TXQ Steve Hunt, the originator of the Broadband version of the Hex Beam antenna. However, this mechanical construction is a version refined by EAntenna with their long-standing antenna engineering experience. The result is an efficient, lightweight portable antenna for the high HF DX bands, which is ideal for use for DXpeditions and vacations. An installation at 20 ft. above the ground can work quite well, but a tower-mounted Hexbeam at a height of 35 to 60 ft. is known to perform as intended and produce excellent DX results. The HEX6B works as two element beam on each band. Ready-to-use wires and ropes are attached to the fiberglass struts and due to the mechanical tension of the struts, the beam is stretched to its fixed size all the time, so there is no sag on the wires. The radiator dipoles are connected to the vertical center support, with each band wire element attaching with screw clamps. The center support is designed as a coaxial transformer and balun, providing a particularly good match on each band, with one feedline for all six bands. The HEX6B forward gain is approximately 3dBD or better, the front/back ratio is between 13 and 22dB. SWR is 1.5:1 or better on all bands except 10m, where SWR is 2:1 or better. Each band can be used in full bandwidth without a tuner. The maximum allowed power is 5 kW. The fiberglass tubes are double coated against UV radiation. The setup of the HEX6B six band beam is simple and can be done by one person in about 30 minutes. All ropes and wires are ready, cut to length, so no tuning is required. Due to the low weight of only 18.7 lbs. (8.2 kg) this hex beam can be installed on a light aluminum push-up mast. Rotation is either done with a small rotator or by hand. The HEX6B mast clamp accommodates poles with a Diameter from 1.10 -2.05 in. (28-52mm).

DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits
DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits are just the right parts for permanently connecting a DX Engineering Maxi-Core® 20 Balun or a legacy Comtek balun to practically any beam, Yagi, Log Periodic or rotatable dipole with stud terminals on its driven element. This wiring kit is not a bracket. This is 8 AWG tinned solid copper wire, 2 ft., and an assortment of tinned solder ring terminals to electrically connect a #10 or 1/4 inch terminal stud balun to either size two stud balanced feedpoint on antennas of several types. Wire a balun to an antenna feedpoint with the DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits. DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits include: - Two feet, 8-Gauge Tinned Solid-Copper Bus Wire - Four each, Ring terminal, solder, for #10 stud - Four each, Ring terminal, solder, for 1/4 in. stud - Two each, Star washers, 1/4 in. - Two each, Nyloc hex nuts. 1/4 in. for 1/4-20 balun studs Instructions for installation: 1. Determine the separated routing of the minimal wire length needed for each balun terminal to antenna terminal connection with drip loops (see 2.), no greater than 12 inches each, from the securely mounted balun to antenna feedpoint. Wires must be separated by 1/2 to 1 inch from antenna metal parts and each other. 2. Include enough wire length for a small drip loop, a downward "U" shape in the wire, to prevent rain water from running straight down into either connection. This drip loop also provides wire strain and vibration relief. 3. Cut the tinned copper wire in half and trim excess to make the two wire lengths, preferably identical. 4. Select the terminals that match the balun and the antenna feedpoint. 5. Solder the tinned ring terminals onto the tinned wire. 6. Install each completed wire assembly with the appropriate size Nyloc nut and star washer along with the hardware supplied with the balun. Attach the other end with hardware supplied with the antenna Use an open end wrench on the balun stud mount nut when tightening Nyloc nuts, and then the wing nuts, to prevent stud rotation and possible internal damage to the balun. NOTE: This 8 AWG tinned copper wire fits into the supplied ring terminals even though both the #10 and the 1/4 in. ring terminal terminals are marked 12-10 (AWG). Soldering these ring terminals onto this wire is required for a permanent connection. Only crimping will produce an insufficient connection. These balun wiring kits may be used on many manufacturers' stud terminal baluns.
