About 6% bandwidth for 2:1 SWR, 5 dBi (measured), 25 dB F/B(measured). It
uses conformal circuit boards, so I don't expect this will be of any real
interest to hams. Light and portable though.
I didn't get any interest from qrz postings(for experimentation) a couple
of years back, and no dxpeditions took me up on free use.
Just wanted to show what was possible.
Anyway, this is a Innova thread, so I'll leave it at that. I wish them good
luck on the cool antennas they have:-)

Chip, how does the fractal version "play" compared to larger versions?

I should add that the 'true' Moxon that you refer to is about 3/8 by
1/8
waves. I am used to the end loaded shorter versions here: 1/4 by 1/8.
I have a fractal version that is 1/8 by 1/8 waves.

Sorry Dave; the Moxon phasing is caused by the 1/8 wave separation. It is
a close-spaced 2 el Yagi.
The Hex is a Moxon with W bendbacks of the driven and parisitic.
The virtue of the Moxon is that it fits in a form factor that is about
1/4 wave by 1/8 wave, as opposed to 1/2 wave by 1/8 wave. This makes it
practical to support as wires as opposed to tubes. The Hex shrinks the
long
extent a bit more.
Best,

Yes. A true Moxon has less forward gain (only slightly so on a proper
design) and less front-to-side than a normal yagi, but it has a really
deep notch off the back. The statement that a Moxon is nothing more
than a 2 element yagi with bent ends is simply false. There is a phasing
component that is not purely parasitic.
