Sorry to interrupt the WAVE-PARTICLE Duality seminar but...

Any comments on the SpiderBeam antenna?



See http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/860

$1100 for six fiberglass poles, some wire and a center plate. No
thanks.


It's a sort of maxed-out Moxon such that the director and reflector
elements are bent toward the center of the antenna.

Apparently it is frequently used on DXpeditions.

There is a version for home use...a kit and the elements are wires.

Anyone using one or care to comment?

(My understanding is that it can send and receive both waves and particles.)

I think the cost is just north of $600 but I agree.
