The gap between the Moxon tips is less than between non Moxon elements but sufficient to clear most any guyed tower. I have one (bought) that came down from R45 via a tram and will go up on a new R65 tower the same way, built one and put it up with a boom lift on a HDX589 and built another that went up on a crane on R45. What is the specific concern?

All are the scratch build "110mph" Leeson designs.

Unless you are installing a Moxon on a crankup tower how do you get one mounted?
I'm trying to visualize how one could be trammed up a guyed tower.

Check into JK Antennas. jkantennas.com   Ken makes a 2 element coil loaded 
model.  Not cheap but outstanding in every way.  The materials, packaging, 
instructions, and the customer service is becoming legendary.
I am in the process of putting one up.  Doing some tower maintenance which is 
what is holding me up right now.  Kens support has been extraordinary.  The 2 
element 40 is one of the smallest antennas he builds.  His stuff is massive.  
No bent metal brackets, plated U bolts.  Take a look.  On the reviews in eham 
there is a great story of an installation at WT8V, to give you an idea of what 
to expect if you get one.
