Not only do they look good, but they work great and they do not want to be
installed too high above ground. Much above 35-40 feet causes the pattern
to break down. I just wish I could add 40 meters, but that would be a huge
antenna. Several of us have brainstormed a 40/80 Hexbeam using seven 40-50
foot telephone poles.

The only down side that I see is these antennas look "different" than
the
old style beams and some folks think they are not "pretty". I personally
think they look great.
A guy was driving thru a neighborhood and spotted a HexBeam up on a
roof. He asked the owner's son what it was and the son replied "It's yard
art". There you go!
Cheers,
