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

Re: Small, portable, light weight Hexbeam
Mark,
The Hexbeam is excellent and real. In short, it was the only antenna

I assume you have something like 146.525 on the display, and
