| Reviews Summary for Spiderbeam |

Reviews: 12

Average rating: 4.4/5

MSRP: $300

Description: The spider beam is a full size lightweight tribander yagi for 20/15/10m, made of fiberglass and wire. While the antenna is as light as a mini beam it maintains the gain and F/B ratio of a typical full size tribander. The whole antenna weight is only 5.5kg (11 lbs) making it ideally suited for portable use. It can be carried and installed easily by a single person.

5 Band Heavy Duty Beam
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Just got my 5-Band Heavy Duty version up in the last couple of days and to say
that i'm happy with it is an understatement!
It is a 3 element on 20m and 15m, 4 element on 10m and 2 elements on 12m and 17m, making 14 full sized elements in total on a 10m (33 foot) boom.
Today, in just a few hours I have managed to work Antigua, Canada,
East Malaysia, S. Africa and Zambia (the last two through pile ups)
all from Ireland using 400w on 20m with the antenna at 25 feet above
ground.
Oh, and I was even able to work HS0ZFA in Thailand when I was tuning
it in the garden at just 6 feet!
I bought the full kit from Con only a few weeks ago, it all went
together easily, SWR's are fine on all bands (only minor tweaking required)and
I can't think of a better antenna for the money. You won't be
disappointed.

Real Performer
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months

The antenna is well designed and easy to assemble.
It's not a magic antenna but this is one great antenna. From the electrical to mechanical design, I have been happy. Easy to put together and it works like a nice performer.
