As you will have read I have a SP7DEX hex beam for portable use. Today we got to see the UK’s version of the G3TXQ design made in Wales by MWOJZE.

Martin had mine up for a while and because mine took ages to come from Poland opted for the Welsh version (his being Welsh made the language barrier less of a problem). He also has opted for the fantastic Spid rotator.





The hex beam is vet similar to the SP7DEX version the main differences being the way that he fibreglass spreaders join. The SP7DEX push together and the MW0LZE are held in place with jubilee clips. Both work well but the former better for portable operation if you are putting up and taking down a lot.



The tension stings are similar. No hooks this time but up to the job





guides for the elements similar. you have to fiddle with the 20m ones but other than that an easy fit to get the wires through.



here is it wired up with the elements



rotator goes onto a removable stub on the composite mast





Here is it with the co-ax in place and all wrapped up with self almagamating tape on the 259 connector






Under the hex is the 70cms and then Martin’s home made 2m 9 element LFA






And it works first time call broke the pile up to a QSO to the US.
