Hexbeam Tune-Up! 

Thank you for this video Chuck! Last year I began a project for a portable hex for POTA with a 3d base/hub, and using Pex water pipe. I’ve yet to finish it, but watching your video has inspired me to re-visit it and work toward finishing it!

Thanks for sharing Chuck, it takes a lot of time to design, gather parts, assemble, make changes and so on! Looking forward to the next video!

Brilliant as always Chuck. I will be making my smaller centre shortly.

I think you're nearing the finish line. Looks great as even now. Even the pooch was saying 73 at the end.

Impressive and well done. Hmm, projects for after that second retirement. Thanks and 73, KF0NNQ.

Very impressive Chuck, i'd be really bloody proud if I could make something like that mate. I love the improvements you've made, you really can't beat a hexbeam in my opinion. Well done Chuck.

Nice look of the chuky antenna Chuck! Keep doing great videos! 73s de TI3GB Greg from Costa Rica!

That is a great looking setup! I helped a friend put a buddihex up before the totality event. Super easy and it looks like your way will be as well. Good luck, I might have to do this some day.

Great work Chuck. Job well done. Looking forward to seeing the rest. 👍🏽

It looks great Chuck 👍

I love the name of the antenna. "Chuckie Hex." Thanks for sharing, You always have some cool stuff. KO4HPC 73

Beautifully done, Chuck💯👍 I could not do this any better myself. Looks very professional. Golden Rule here, save as much unecessary Weight as you can without giving up on Stability. Hey, tnx for another neat Video. I share this One with my Facebookers. Until the ext One. 73 from Coast to Coast and Sea the shining Sea de YFUG 💯🙋‍♂

Nice work Chuck!

Chuck, this is a very cool thing. 🎉

Great video Chuck! Very detailed and informative. 👍🏽

Looks good - start with a good idea and then just keep refining.

Visit some sign shops in your area, see if they have any free (or cheap) thick Plexiglas remnants for making isolators for your antenna feedpoints.

Getting a building permit for a fence took hours and $$, Dad put in his Cushcraft 67B w 180 ladderline fed dipole on a 90 foot crank-up tower in west Phoenix for Free! Rest in peace Dad N7JWF/AE7AD 73s from KD7CKT Flagstaff

Great tune up on the Chucky-Hex!!

Great!

Thanks. I will be looking for your old chuck hex video

This is exciting 🎉

Nice Chuck. Good luck with it.

Good upgrades Chucky!😂The thumbnail should be used for product stickers.😁👍

If you were to sell the HUB and make a suggested parts list for all of the other parts, I would buy it. I don't have the tools to do the hub. Would love to build a hex beam. I think the hub is the most important piece.

nice job Chuck

Thank you looking for more of the build video

Enquired the cost of a locally built Hexbeam. It is almost one third of the cost of my FT-710! So I am still on my homebrew fan dipole for 40/10m which allows me to work on 40, 15 and 10m. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

Thanks for the video! 73 de Bill

Looks Great Chuck. My question is why do they fed hex beams from the top?

I'm over here fighting a single long wire, Chuck over here with real tools, printing and weighing in grams, do you have wire on there between 10 & 12? Can't wait for 2.2!

What is a good website that has the build instructions. How long at the fiberglass poles? How long are the top support ropes? Where do I find the clips you used? How do I weave the wires inside the hex?

hello can you please tell us what material was used or a tutorial that inspired you for this creation 73 good job for this video

Hi Chuck, can you tell me where did you get the spreader arms? Seem to be part of camping tents. Regards

Chuck have you ever used lightening holes in the base plate?

Do you have a drawing for the dimensions? I was thinking about making one of these and the dimensions you have would fit on my mill lol

What are those yellow things you are using to hang the wire?

Are those tent poles?
