Array Solutions – Sunnyvale Texas, abd OptiBeam – Pforzheim, Germany

OptiBeam Antennas introduces the OB6-3M, the worlds first small tri-bander with real full size performance also on the 20m band, taking advantage of the Moxon rectangle technique.

With a boom length of 10 feet only and a turning radius of just 14feet 1 inch, this antenna has exceptionally high gain, great SWR, and a fantastic front to back ratio.

Jay Terleski, president of Array Solutions stated," This is the first commercial application of the Moxon rectangle. Optibeam took our challenge and produced this antenna to provide the city lot dweller, or the DX-peditioner a no compromise small antenna. The front to back on 20 meters is enhanced due to the Moxon coupling to exceed that which is possible with a 2 element full sized beam, yet the performance is full sized even with the shortened elements.

Optibeam will be displaying this antenna in the Array Solutions booth at the Dayton Hamvention. Please drop by and meet Tom Shmenger DF2BO, president of Optibeam and let him show you how it is done with his computer simulation of this revolutionary antenna.
