Made a Moxon

The program seems to calculate the wire lengths too long for the resonant frequency, so be sure to make it in such a way as you can shorten or lengthen each wire as needed to fine tune it.
 
That would make a real nice hilltopper. Nice job homer!
Yep.
The poles are extendable/retractable and a wrap or two of tape on the sections joints would keep them out when using the antenna. Marking the wires at each exact corner would make it really easy to put in the air.

Not having the poles taped or shrink wrapped to the spreader tubes would allow for quick removal/assembly of the pole spreaders and allow the antenna to be carried about in the car of even a modest sized automobile.
 
Very cool project. I've been messing around with the MFJ 10 meter moxon for the last month and I've found it's footprint is smaller than the Maco V Quad and I'm getting better rejection and it's signal is more horizontal.

I think for those looking for a small beam the 11 meter moxon is a great choice.
