It has been years since I made the conversion of my CC XM240 to a 40M
Moxon antenna. It has sat in my basement and I still have yet to get it
up on the 100' R55 tower. I am expecting to finally do that this
season. I have a couple questions if I may ask here.
1. I have wound 2 CM Chokes from K9YC's cookbook designs using 14 turns
of RG400U on a 2.4" OD #31 mix toroid. I am planning on using both in
series to the feed point. Do I need any thing else?
2. I remember reading something about someone having a breakage of the
CC Al channel holding the element to boom. I was unable to find that
reference again. Could the channel be re-enforced by the use of an
additional AL plate on the back of the channel or some other remedy?
Thanks. Tower talk has always been a great resource of information.
