John 2E0JJM kindly sent me this video of a test he undertook after installing his Hexbeam from www.g3txq-hexbeam.com
The Antennas he tested the Hexbeam against are a multiband ground-mounted vertical and a multi band di-pole. For more info
Please email John on his email address on www.qrz.com The test was carried out on 17m while monitoring the 2O12L official Olympic station in London during the Olympic games.
Many thanks John from Ant MW0JZE
