There are a lot of us thinking “wow, I’d love to have an XM240” about now. But…
I would take a really good look at turning it into a Moxon for 30m. No traps
needed, just some extensions a right angle.
I don’t believe that the right angle is magical, so you might be able to attach
wires to the ends and have them travel back towards the boom attachments.
I know that Dave, W6NL converted his 240 to a 40m Moxon, no reason that it
wouldn’t also work shortened for 30 meters.
