“KIO Broadband Hexagonal Beam Antenna
This two element, five band, directional antenna installation was accomplished in the following phases:
1. Plan installation location
2. Mast mounting
3. Guy system
4. Ground system, feed-line, rotator cable
5. Antenna assembly
6. Mast erection
7. Test
Mine was finally erected the evening of June 15, 2013 atop a Rhon 9H50 pushup mast with two sections extended to 12′ atop a 15′ rooftop for an approximate height above ground of 27′ to the Hex-beam bottom plate.
It was a bit of an ordeal for a 70 year old senior citizen to finally wrestle the ungainly maze of wires and poles that demand to catch on every composite roof shingle and other edges as I transported the KIO Hex-Beam from atop the first floor rooftop, where it was assembled, around dormers and weathervane, up steep rooftop and a ten foot ladder lashed to the mast. From there it was a matter of supporting myself with one arm wrapped around the top of the mast, and the other arm hefting the antenna’s balancing mass to the tippy-top of the mast, and coaxing the hub and tube to mate. Whew!”
