I realize this is getting OT from the original post but if you already
own a 2L 40m yagi and are thinking about replacing it because of
inadequate F/B consider transforming it into a 2L rotatateable phased array.
As an experiment several years I converted my XM-240 into a phased array
of my own design because the F/B was so poor regardless of height above
ground. In the end I was very impressed with it's performance. The mod
was simple and took less then several days to implement. Some F/B
examples can be seen in this video I shot (just be gentle as it was the
very first video I ever made or put on YouTube and had no clue what I
was doing).

Momobeam makes a T element 40m beam also, I used one last year operating as
PJ4R. I have modeled a lot of 40m beams and it is hard to get a lot of gain
with a single antenna. The Moxon is a nice design but it does not defy
physics.

All true, Jim.
As well, re W6NL's design of the 40m Moxon being discussed. I built/own
two. Also NEC4 verified. K3LR and 8P5A use them. The JK Moxon looks
like a close derivative.
