The complete set of HEX beam parts I purchased in 2021.
My family received them and had stored them in the warehouse, and I just
unearthed them today.
Actually, I have Hexbeams, but only the parts for the elements.
I bought them fromNA4RR Hexbeam Saleswhen I was back in Japan in November 2021.
The parts alone cost $615 (92,250 yen). Since I was staying in Japan and
didn't have enough money,
I decided to buy the pipe and coaxial center post later.
I emailed NA4RRR to ask how much the pipe would cost,.
and they told me that it would be $860 , including shipping.
However, I was told that I could get the pipe more cheaply fromMax-Gain Systems, Inc..
The price, including shipping, is $479.76 (71,964 yen). In addition, the price including shipping, is $479.76 (71 964 yen).

Band to fasten element to pipe Is it possible to assemble so many of them in pedition? Pre-assembly procedures must be mastered Bands to secure the elements to the pipes. There are so many of them-will they be able to be assembled during the
IOTA pedition? It will be necessary to learn the assembly steps in advance.
Now I have to come up with the funds to purchase the nearly $80,000 pipe and air coaxial center post! Can someone please donate to the realization of the Camiguin Island IOTA pedition?
With this antenna, it is possible to ONAIR from 14MHz to 50MHz with one antenna!
