I'd still have a hexbeam if I had done that. ?JS6TMW toggle quoted message Show quoted text On May 6, 2025, at 6:42, Alan Brown via groups.io <va3aqb@...> wrote: ?

Alan Brown All Messages By This Member #20065 开云体育 Here it is with two on and finally will have 6. They are to replace the 6 ice cords and I was also thinking adding some short ice cords around 6m wire position? VA3AQB ???

Kirk Kleinschmidt, NT0Z All Messages By This Member #20067 I'm trying to understand how the struts could perform better than similarly situated ice cords? Neither has lateral stability, and both essentially resist movement in one direction only. What am I missing?

Alan Brown All Messages By This Member #20068 开云体育 Moves less in the wind and the main issue when hex is full of ice is the wind movement afterwards.? The struts will stop the inward movement from the sides, most times the spreaders break close to the baseplate.? VA3AQB ???

Kirk Kleinschmidt, NT0Z All Messages By This Member #20069 Got it. Both resist movement away from the center, but struts resist movement toward the center.
