I'm toying with the idea of making my first lower-band beam a
spider-beam.
>From what I can see on their web-site, the lowest band they support is
30 meters.
Eventually I will want a light-weight 40 meter 2 element.
But that may be more than I can chew as my first attempt.

So I'm toying with the idea of starting out with their 30 meter beam kit
because its only 28 pounds and turning radius of 20 feet.
And since I'm toying with getting it up an AB-577 military mast, the
spider-beam minimal weight and size might make the process easier.

Does anyone have any experience with the Spider-beams?
I'm especially curious if the shipping cost is going approximate the
cost of the antenna?

Thanks
