Showing up late to the party but I have used the Moxon a lot and at low heights due to living in military housing. I had to hide it in my garage attic but even at that lower height I was still able to work DX at 12 feet off the ground under a roof. Hey you gotta use what you have. I had to run the measurements in Moxgen at 1 Mhz below my target frequency. So my center frequency was 27.025 mhz and I used 26.025 mhz in Moxgen. SWR was flat and impedance was on the nose at 50 ohms. Another thing I noticed was angle that your coax/feedline ties into the Moxon needs to be in the same plane but perpendicular to the element. The Moxon does very well at low heights and I do believe I could get better performance at a higher height. The back door is not completely closed off but there is a definite separation. Don't give up, its well worth the effort.
