MW0JZE Manufacturer of the G3TXQ Broadband Hexagonal Beam - HexBeam Antennas -
This version of the broadband hexbeam is based on the work of Hunt G3TXQ, HB9MCZ, and Shoemaker K4KIO. EZNEC model is based on a wider element spacing than the version published in QST by K4KIO -
The Hexbeam is a great little antenna! It should be high on your list of options if you want a design that can be multi-banded, exhibits useful gain and directivity, is very lightweight, has a small turning radius, and which lends itself readily to Do It Yourself construction. -

A hexagonal beam is a form of the Yagi antenna which is based on parasitic principles developed early in the last century in Japan for achieving gain in one direction.How HexBeam antennas works. A hexagonal beam operates exactly like Yagi antenna, but instead of a driven element that is straight like a dipole, it is a wire bent into the shape of the letter M. -

NA4RR manufacture a six band hexagonal beam antenna for ham radio, covering 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, and 20 meter. -
The original HEXBEAM was developed by Mike Traffic, N1HXA, in the early nineties. It is true that an M over W configured yagi antenna that resembled a butterfly was earlier tried successfully. But the advanced electrical design, the characteristic nesting concept and central terminal post that enable the multi band functionality along with the basic hardware design were all developed by Mike Traffie. -

From March 2 to March 11, 2018, a Norwegian team operated as Z2LA from Zimbabwe, focusing on 160m through 10m bands using SSB and CW modes. The operation, described as "holiday style," aimed to provide contacts for DXers worldwide seeking a rare DXCC entity. Key equipment included a SUNSDR PRO II, an Elecraft KX3, and an Icom 706 MK2G as a spare radio, supported by two Juma 1000 amplifiers for robust signal output across the bands. Antenna systems were tailored for multi-band operation, featuring an Inv L for 160m and 80m, sloping dipoles for 30m/40m, and a _Hexbeam_ from SP7IDX Technology covering 20m to 10m. For improved reception, the team deployed a SAL 30, two reversible BEV antennas from remoteqth.com, and a BOG from K1FZ, enhancing their ability to hear weak signals. QSL information directs operators to Clublog for log search and M0OXO Charles for OQRS, explicitly requesting no bureau cards. The team comprised LA7THA Rune, LA7WCA Arne, and LA9VPA Thor, successfully making numerous contacts and contributing to the DX community's pursuit of _Zimbabwe_ as a DXCC entity. -
The XW4DX DXpedition website documents the amateur radio operation from Laos, a country ranked #98 on Clublog's Most Wanted list. This resource provides insights into the planning and execution of a significant DXpedition, including antenna choices like _Hexbeams_ at 14m, a 4-square for 40m, and a top-loaded vertical for 160m. The team, comprising operators such as _F4BKV Vincent_ and _F2DX Patrick_, focused on challenging paths, particularly towards the North American East Coast, where Laos is #41 most wanted. Operational constraints included prohibitions on 6m, 30m, 60m, and 80m bands within Laos, necessitating a focus on other HF frequencies, especially 160m and 40m. The expedition utilized up to five stations simultaneously, with equipment transportation being a major logistical challenge, partially mitigated by direct shipments from _Spiderbeam_ and donor support. The expedition ran from November 16th to 27th, 2023, with the complete XW4DX log uploaded to LoTW by December 23rd, 2023. This site serves as a historical record of their efforts to put Laos on the air for DXers worldwide.
