Sorry Dave; the Moxon phasing is caused by the 1/8 wave separation. It is a 
 close-spaced 2 el Yagi.
 
The Hex is a Moxon with W bendbacks of the driven and parisitic.
 
The virtue of the Moxon is that it fits in a  form factor that  is  about 
1/4 wave by 1/8 wave, as opposed to 1/2 wave by 1/8 wave. This  makes it 
practical to support as wires as opposed to tubes. The Hex shrinks the  long 
extent a bit more.
 
Best,
Chip W1YW

Yes.  A true Moxon has less forward gain (only slightly so on  a proper 
design) and less front-to-side than a normal yagi, but it has a  really 
deep notch off the back.  The statement that a Moxon is  nothing more 
than a 2 element yagi with bent ends is simply false. There  is a phasing 
component that is not purely  parasitic.
