AD asked" what antennas do I have? "
For 2 meter ,I homebrewed a slim-jim inside of grey electrical conduit ,tuned with aluminum foil tape on the outside @ 16 feet elevation .
A homebrew 5 band fan dipole @ 32 feet cut for 80,60,40,20,10 meters ,it tunes ,<3:1 15,12,6 meters .
A home brew 17 meter delta loop ,not connected because it made good friends with the fan dipole so fan tunes 17 meter now@,<3:1 .
I just recently built a hex beam from plans
http://www.hex-beam.com G3TXQ Broad band Hex beam by K4KIO .
I bought the hub from DX engineering (great company ) and the fiberglass tubing .
I initially intended to go cheap with materials ,but winds on the hill would have made it a short term antenna .
Installed on a light aluminum tower @ 25 feet , cut for 20, 17,15,12,10, and 6 meters ,<2:1 very good results so far ,still some issues to resolve with the rotor .
I wish that I had had the Hex beam for the ARRL centennial .
All the antennas were tested with mini VNA .
