I wish that was an option...

I realize 100% that height cures issues gents, but that is something I can't do... I've been talking all over with a 1/4 Wave GP antenna at this same height...

I made the RF Choke (Coax, 10 turns, 6"diameter) at the feed point as well when I first put it up...

I am wondering if the way I mounted it to the boom is causing an issue... The elements are electrically isolated but the U-bolts going over the isolated elements are not isolated from the boom....

I'll try to get some pics in the daylight today....

if the Moxon doesn't work, I'll take it apart and I have enough copper for the 11M J-Pole! and they work well low mounted....
