Re: New Antenna for the FT-817 and other QRP portables...
Guys, guys. I don't believe it is a joke. Go read the info at the pages. They have photos of the gadget. It's much too much trouble and work and expense to be a joke. If they really have come up

Re: Small, portable, light weight Hexbeam
Mark, The Hexbeam is excellent and real. In short, it was the only antenna to hold up for Chuck at Bouvet Island. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. I have the 5-band one ready to put up soon.

Re: Mini antennas for HF...
