You're comparing apples with oranges!

No - the hexbeam wont give you as good performance as the A3WS; but you get 6 bands instead of 2, with a smaller turn radius and less weight.

Is Ants lead time below 8 weeks now? I believe he had a lot going on in his life at the time I ordered so it took a while although at least he took the time to email updates which was far better than 8 weeks of silence. Well worth the wait though for anyone thinking of buying a commercial one instead of homebrewing.

GW3XCR, at least there's years of experience behind the company ....ever hear of him Steve?
....or maybe it's a reissued callsign giving that perception. :)

But re-assuring that he gets the same performance as K4KIO.

Compare:

Wow! The results are more similar than two dummy loads :)

Must be built to very close tolerances.

I think they must be using your vertical coax.

Perhaps someone should ask how, other than "cut and paste", he arrived at his diagramatic charts facts and figures!
For every corner you look, theres a chancer! ;)
