Crawdad, thanks for asking. Each day in some small way we see the proofs of our improvement. God is good. Enjoy your Moxon. With the tubing style I always use the outside of the tubing for the measurements. That may be why I am/was resonant up high on the band. I suggest using the center of the...

Here's the vertical painted. Maybe the Moxon painted tomorrow.

Looks like a straightforward 3 element Yagi design.

I don't want to be a hind end, especially since I make really ugly antennas that work, but that sock on the mic is very very yewgly.

To finish up my 6m set I went with this design because of its simplicity. I had done it many times for 11m and given them to "folks without funds" to help them get on the air. Of course, it's a vertical dipole. There is not much local traffic here, but there are 3 or four repeaters in the...

Thanks, SS. Good advice.

I need to get my 10 element 2m yagi up. What I used Sunday night was my Anytone AT-778UV, coax, and Tram 1481 vertical. And it was on FM.

I walked into the garage where my shack is Sunday PM at ~9:30 CT. I keyed up and dropped my call on 146.520. A fellow came back to me from Aurora, MO, 51 miles NNE of me across some difficult terrain. I don't talk that far normally from my QTH. we spoke awhile as he talked of all the long...

HA, I go visit all of them quite frequently. My wife still works at Sam's home office, and we shop ourselves at W'mart and Sam's. As for the other two, I shop THD 1st, and Lowe's 2nd.

It is only the width of the saw blade, except, when it was sawn all the way through it separated about 2 saw blade widths. I did not adjust the hairpin at all. I liked the numbers and wanted to be happy :). There is enough sadness in this world.:(

My reasons may be meaningless, but I'll share. 1. Structurally less robust. The central complaint of quad antenna users is the weather problems. 2. Very strong winds warped those I made so I experienced fluctuating performance. 3. Too much extra struts making to achieve rigidity. Wires that are...

Well, thanks, guys. Goes to show you don't know what good soup is if all you've ever tasted is bad. But, I'll take it.

Funny fellow. :LOL:

It's a beauty, and desirable. I can't pay that for it.

Three years ago I tossed together a quick and dirty 6m Moxon. It worked well, but was really rough in some ways. This was one of my "walker" specials. This same antenna was/is 100% the metal parts of aluminum crutches and a walker. I went back over it refining the look, and the dimensions. While...

To all of you who asked about both my wife and my health as we battled through Covid 19 back to health, Thank you. Many of you sent best wishes, while some openly committed to prayer and others kept their prayers close to their hearts. My wife came home yesterday afternoon. To help you...

Yes. She has been moved to a private room as of Tuesday. She is still oxygen dependant, but, although still quite a lot is needed, the amount she requires is going down. They will send her home after she reaches a low enough threshold. Don't know when that will be. I am doing great, now. I use...
