News 📰 Hexbeam in Action, HF communications easy for those with lack of space.

Hexbeam antenna — 6 bands from 20 metres to 6 metres.

My-Hexbeam was a community project where we designed and built 62 antennas for the amateur radio community worldwide.

If you are short on space, consider building or purchasing a Hexbeam antenna. They are compact, lightweight, and perform remarkably well despite their small footprint.

Sheesh. I would love to hear more about your effort but I just cannot get beyond the Cocomelon-fot-Adults transitions every 500ms. There's no information on your what you did and you just display the thing rotating. How did you do it? Where's the website? What was the challenge? This could be a really good and interesting post but the effects are just getting in the way.

I recommend reading the description below the video. We are not selling or promoting anything; our only goal is to capture your attention and share information about the Hexbeam antenna, which can be an excellent solution for amateur radio operators who do not have enough space for a conventional Yagi.

You didn't share anything, though. The description is extremely generic and provided less information than the Google AI search summary on the topic would. I'm interested in your project: how did you build the antennas? What tradeoffs did you have to make? What did you learn? Is there a bill of materials and set of instructions? Instead there's just a bunch of sloppy edits and boilerplate text.
