The center post (power feeder) of the HEXbeam has received the chrysanthemum washers and is finally complete.
If you buy it from NA4RR Hexbeam Sales, it costs $234 (about $34,720 yen) including shipping, though,
The cost of the parts for the homebrew was 1,402 pesos (about 3,715 yen), which is about 1/10 of the price.
RG8X was recommended for the coaxial cable, but it was not available, so RG8 was used.
As a result, it can be operated at higher power.
