I just finished building my NA4RR Hex Beam today. All the hardware was present. It all fit together as it should. All the materials provided are of high of the highest quality. I am extremely pleased with the ease of construction. Now I can't wait to get it up on the tower and on the air. I'll post the results soon... (to be continued)

Great antenna and super easy to assemble. Not to mention its cost much less then a Yagi. This might become my first HF multiband thats gonna compliment my new HF rig. I just got my General class.

Thanks to NX6DX, who gifted this antenna to me, I now have an antenna that DOES DX :) Every time I use the antenna it surprises me. We didn't even have instructions, yet the two helpers had it together in about 15 minutes. Our mistakes? Didn't pinch the S hooks at top. Will take care of that next time I can get some helpers. Amazing antenna!

I WILL use this video for construction of my NA4RR Hex. The written sheets are ok BUT this video looks like it takes 30 minutes to assemble. Waiting for some normal WX to assemble. I also want to prime and paint the spreader arms. First have to clean them with Acetone and prime and paint with Rust-Oleum products mentioned in assembly instructions. I cant' wait to get this USA made antenna up on the tower.

The SO-239 should go up not in the hole on the hub. The bottom of the hub is where you insert the mast. The coax feeds the top. Jim, k4vw

Thanks for the video. the question I have is what is the lowest I can keep this antenna and still get optimum signal reports? Asking due to living in an HOA and thinking I might be able to get away with only 10 to 15 feet from the ground.

I have this wonderful antenna. Upon putting it up at a different location (had to move), I notice that some of the spreader arms don't go out 'straight' but sort of curve off to one side. Any reason why this would happen?

Bill, I see some with fiberglass masts. I would rather have aluminum like yours. Do you worry that the aluminum mast will resonate?

We have manufactured over 500 of them and have not had any problems. 73.

No mention of a 1:1 balun that they recommend. Do you use one on the NA4RR Hexbeam?
@billrockwell72502 жыл бұрын
Yes, the balun is required and can be purchased with the antenna.

What disassembly is required to make this a portable antenna?
