Hello, do you know any height difference from terrain between the two? BTW of course I expected a better result on Hex beam. I have a Hex myself and had a cobweb for some time in the past. Not very happy with cobweb, yes it's small and gives you the 5 band capability but acutally was performing exactely the same as my vertical fishing pole with a 4:1. Less constructing effort, less horizzontal area, less everything, same result, so I removed the cobweb eventuall. I think I have a video on YT of what I'm saying thought. 73 and thank for this video

If you close your eyes and don't look at the S-meter, you can hear no difference between the two, at least not from the recording.

Unless egg-shaped, the Cobweb (HF HALO) has it's highest gain in the direction from the feed-point, so did he have that specific type of omni *_''Pointed''_* toward you? That would provide the HALO-Web's highest possible signal since it produces several dB less energy from the side.

one's a beam and the other's a nest of dipoles? the hex beam would win out" move along people nothing to see here!? ;)

Not really shocking for a directional vs omni directional antenna comparison.

So, your comparing a beam aerial to an omnidirectional aerial and your amazed? I’m amazed at that!

Yup! And I will bet a Vertical on the beach can outperform a beam inland too!

AJ2I CQ DX probably. The Mosley 33 rx 6dbd gain. I think the hex is 3.5-4

Was the X in the exact same position of the Cob when he tried the test? NO, so not a fair comparison is it? You can only make a fair comparison when both antennas are situated in the exact same location and the height above ground. Even if there is only a one inch difference in the site it will make a whole difference.

What kind of comparison is that? The Hex beam is higher. How do you compare a two element beam with a compromised dipole? Are you guys a bunch of CBs?

In answer to your query, I believe the ''Kind'' is a comparison of the performance of one antenna to the performance of another for the point of showing the difference. - Interesting that you felt the need to bring the 11m band into the discussion in this comment section, what are you, a CBer?? Your invective belies it's intent.

you can recognize a real asshole by the fact that he basically sees all CB radio operators as stupid people. As if there are no CB radio operators who are far more educated than you - just because they didn't get a license? You lack not only the intelligence, but obviously also the character.
