I will recommend this antenna!			Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Get this antenna from my woman and childs for 40 years ham anniversary. Had 2 homemade Hexbeams before, so i know this type of antenna will work very well. Looking out for some sturdier Hexbeam I found it at sp6cyn and told it to my woman. Slawomir was very kind person and helped my family to get the right produkt to my son in law in poland. He brought it to germany as surprise. All parts get together without any problems. Antenna is 17m high. The SWR is good as advertised. Gain, F/S and front to back is clearly noticeable, so normaly it is possible to work DX very well. I am located 20 km of germans northseacoast. So its very windy and somtimes stormy. Until now the antenna has no problems with this weather conditions. It is possible to get an extension for 40m. But in that configuration the antenna unfortunately is to big for my QTH. I will recommend this antenna! Slawomir, thank you for the great antenna!!! Markus, DJ5BT Review update August 2024: During maintenance work on my tower, I broke the 20m element of the hexbeam (when setting up the tower, the wire got caught on the gutter and the GRP arms of the antenna were extremely stressed and survived this without being damaged). My email about a replacement of the 20m element was answered immediately by Slawomir, despite his vacation. I transferred the required 80 euros and 3 days later the ordered goods were delivered. Thanks to Slawomir for the super fast service!!

The best Hexbeam-VFM			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I am living in Athens ,so I needed an antenna with low profile -low space .Do not look at big guns,this is the solution for the most amateurs like me.No traps -no coils means no problems. 3.5 Db is enough to hear the South Pacific.Slawomir sent the antenna in a few days and every time I called him the answer was instantly.Great support,exellent materials,just plug and play.Thank you dear Slawomir.

Good antenne with some remarks			Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Was 1st a bit sceptical about this antenna but must say I am able to work most stations even in pile ups. I live in a windy area and the antenna holds very well. The weight is just 13 kg, so it can be fitted in smaller constructions. Also the size is smaller because of the bent elements. I have a rotary dipole for 30/40m beneath it for covering the lower bands also. 10 and 12m are very close, you have to keep the distance given on the manual otherwise 12m will resonate to low. Other thing is the wires between the radiator and reflector get broke due hf. I have to put an isolator on both ends of the radiator to prevent this. Also I changed the balun to a more rugged type from ON7FU because I had problems with the original. All are easy to fix if you have a tiltover tower. The antenna is rated for 1500watts.(not mentioned which mode) In FT8 or fm mode 400 watts maximum is my experience.

Happy to share my experience with the SP6CYN hex-antenna. The antenna is professionally engineered, high quality, plug-and-play antenna. My antenna is on a 30 ft tower and it works fabulous for DX on all bands. Building was a breeze. Very happy I found this antenna.

Hexbeam 6 bandes de SP6CYN			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
J'ai reçu cette antenne en 5 jours en Suisse . Des ma commande SP6CYN m'a de suite répondu avec rapidité et explications. Tout s'est déroulé super bien . Le matériel est de très haute qualité. Les explications sont simples et clair. Je viens de monter cette antenne à environ 10m de hauteur et les résultats sont fantastiques. Sur toutes les bandes 1 a 1.1 de TOS. Genial... les premiers essais ont eu lieux et c'est surprenant la qualité de réception... quasiment pas de bruit de fond par rapport à mon dipôle rotatif 3 bandes. Gain par rapport au dipole 3 à 4 point S !!! Je ne peut que recommander cette antenne fantastique. Merci à SP6CYN meilleures salutations. HB9FSA

Brilliant antenna. Highly recommended			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I bought this antenna last year from SP6CYN. It arrived within 4 days to Prague. Eventually I managed to install it a few weeks back at a new QTH. So far, more than impressed The construction is solid, and easy to put together. Antenna performance : On all 6 bands, the SWR is around 1.1 or less. I've made DX contacts all over the world easily and busted pileups with 100W. Awesome antenna!

Good antenna Hexbeam			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Hello all. A month ago I bought a six-band haxbeam antenna from SP6CYN. It is very easy to assemble and you do not need to tune anything. The SWR on all bands is a maximum of 1: 1.4. For a week now, I have made contacts with all continents with good reports. I have a TS 590 and 100 Watt. The antenna works great. The antenna is installed 4 m above the roof. I am very happy with it and recommend it to everyone who does not have much space. Before that, I had two Cubical Quad pieces that were blown up by the wind. Best regards Adam SP6OJJ
