Sorry to hear this I always liked his post, thoughts and prayers!

Leo I was talking about up in the air!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Shadetree it's a decent antenna for the money and mine worked pretty good. It's not super heavy duty but not too bad. Good luck!!

Hahaha, yea Leo I will believe when you post a picture of it up:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:!

Jimmy if you can't get a hold of the guy in Texas you might try HiQ for the bas insulator .

Won't work with the camper shell but I made a mount to mount my HiQ antenna to the inside of the bed works great!

So far had a good time in the contest!

:whistle: I might make some contacts

Well Riverman71 we have all heard about the dreaded half antenna from BJ :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. It looks great!

Oh its a amp supply , needs a good cleaning!

Ken, I'm starting a build of a half square for 40m. If I can fit it later I may add a reflector, not sure I have the room. How did your antenna work out? I know this is a old post , maybe I'll catch you on 865 soon, later Chuck

this isn't the finished hex but close, I found better fiberglass poles from tractor supply that fit the pvc pipe I used to holed in place but the orange driveway markers in picture work fine for this small 6 meter antenna .

For a 2 element antenna while on the road or camping you might look into a hexbeam. For a single band it can just be flat. I built a 6m hexbeam (11m would be bigger) and it can break down pretty small for transportation. Another is a moxon which I have built for 11m, great antenna and very wide...

you can slit the ends with a hacksaw and just use small hose clamps to tighten them in place.

Just push them inside if you can don't cut them.
