[SCCC] Moxon on FD

[Art K6XT]

At W5YA (3A QRP battery) we had Moxons on 40, 20, 15. 40 was 
tree-supported, the others on masts. My first experience with the Moxon, 
and glad of it as I'm planning a 30M rotary version. Our ants are 
switchable east - west- bidirectional. Nice to avoid rotating anything, 
a very QRP-supportive configuration. These very lightweight wire ants 
are only dragged out of storage for FD.

Based on this experience there now is no doubt I'll build one of these 
very effective antennas for 30M. I dig 3+ S points of front to back out 
of 2 elements.
