    Well designed final version. I enjoyed watching the iteration. I like the background music, (maybe a bit more joy filled?). You've come a long way Colin.

    Maybe, I don't know if I still have it. I've moved away from this to the Hexbeam.

    You do great work Colin! I like your setup but was too cheap to buy the clamps. I may lol print some later, 73 brother and cheers!

    Too kind Chuck. Hopefully we can see your Moxon multi banded soon. Mines is still a ways off. When cycle 25 warms up some more we need to try the Moxon to Moxon for a QSO.

    Well done Colin…. I’d be really interested in how you tuned your Moxon. I think a video about that would be worth covering. My Moxon uses less robust fishing poles. They are about 26mm in diameter at their base, which also makes the tips much smaller from a diameter standpoint. I created 3D printed saddle clamps as well as wire anchors for the connections to the pole ends. Not as elegant as yours are, but functional. I’ve enjoyed watching your build. Thanks!

    I will cover that on the final overview. The wire also performs the tension on the poles so if one is altered then the other needs altered as well.

    have you refined this design for a smaller footprint? What is the weight? THANKS Rob - AK7RM

    Unfortunately not. Ive moved onto the Hexbeam as get 5 bands. It won't weigh thats much more. Problem with this design is the availability of the fibreglass poles.

    Bonjour, serait-il possible d'avoir les côtes de construction de votre plaque de support pour l'antenne Moxon. Merci

    I dont know if I still have the drawings. I need to look. I moved to building a Hexbeam which is much more practical to build.

    Great video Colin, I've been watching your Moxon build with interest. Just clarify though is that 2mm ACP really the stuff you using there or is it 4mm?

  • @MM0OPXFieldRadio

    @MM0OPXFieldRadio

    It's the 2mm I'm using. If I was to set up as a permanent station on a heavy duty mast I would go with 4mm most likely.

    Not yet but watch this space. There's a bit of complexity to note so the clamping to the mast arrangement is clear to understand.

    I think I’d agree. It’s more distracting than anything else.
