EZNEC+ v6.0.33 with AutoEZ v.2.0.25 modeling software was used to characterize the beam patterns and impedance matching for the hex beam. The nested elements of the G3TXQ Broadband Hexbeam antenna, whose wire model was shown previously in Figure 2, was adapted to the VHQ HEX beam configuration by adding the 6-meter element and running beam patterns and VSWR curves across all bands (including 2-meters). This EZNEC/AutoEZ antenna model is available at the co-author’s amateur radio website for those wishing to change parameters to investigate various configurations.
