Several of you have emailed me privately about modeling the Moxon 2 Element 40M
yagi. I am at the start of a project to build two of them using parts from one
Telrex 6 element 20M yagi (20M646).
First step is to do some modeling and I have a program called Antenna Model,
which is one of the many modeling programs that is able to handle the odd
geometry of the Moxon elements.
Now the rub. I run Windows 7/64 bit inside a virtual O/S operating under
Parallels on my Mac Mini. The Antenna Model program installs and runs, but
will not calculate. The calculate tab comes up all gray.
So I got out my Old laptop which runs XP Pro, service pack 3 and the program
installs, runs and calculates.
That’s where I am now. Next step is to learn the AM program, then run the
Moxon file I have and start the variations in the element construction.
Thanks to all who have helped to this point. I’m sure I will need more help as
I go along.
73,
Dave, K4TO
