KIO Hex Beam Antenna

I’d never heard of this brand, but I believe Crawdad runs one of these.

They certainly appear to be of good quality. Am guessing the performance is terrific as well.

R-man,
The structural quality is decent for the price. I like the center-post design, it's a one-piece 6061 aluminum tubing that extends thru the hub plate and clamps directly to your mast. Not much to fail there.
Performance-wise, I've added 50+ DXCCs to my log since I put it up in late July. 100w max out, don't own an amp. The 20m element is only 24' AGL but I've worked stations 10,000+ miles out on several bands. Can't ask for much more performance than that.
