The HexBeam is a popular directional antenna for HF bands, known for its compact size, relatively light weight, and good performance for DX and general QSOs. Its unique hexagonal shape allows operators to cover multiple bands with a single antenna, making it a favorite for those with limited space or who need a portable solution for field operations or contests.

Hams looking to build or buy a HexBeam can find various resources, from complete antenna systems to individual components. Manufacturers like K4KIO and SP7IDX offer ready-to-deploy HexBeams, while suppliers such as HexKit.com provide base plates and hardware kits for homebrew projects. DX Engineering also stocks a range of parts and accessories for antenna builders, including fiberglass elements and other essential components for these multi-band arrays.
