It's great news to know another update is on the way soon.
Thanks, and 73

I've built two of the scratch build W6NL 40m Moxons. It performs as
Dave claims. It was not an inexpensive antenna to build given some of
the element parts. Probably about the same as buying a commercial 40
and modifying it. It weighed in under 100#. A full size 3L will weigh
2 to 3 times as much or more, so tower and rotator need to be a lot
beefier but may have the F/B you want.
However, I recently had a QSO with Dave and he said he has a re-design
in the works to use only the stock sizes of DX Engineering tubing. That
would save a lot, rather than searching around from distributors that
rarely stocked telescoping sizes, although I note that On Line Metals
now shows many telescoping wall sizes. DXE has a great selection of
diameters and wall thicknesses available at good prices. All of my
tubing came from them unless they didn't stock it.

## That is great news..... design it around readily available tubing.
Dx eng provides superb customer service. It’s a one stop shop for
tubing requirements, plus other items like the SS saddle U clamps,
with the solid al saddles. And esp the jumbo mast clamps, those
things are the ultimate godsend.
## They can pack a LOT of tubing into a box, by stuffing mating telescoping
pieces into each other.
