N6TA shared with us some info from K7IR of SteppIR:

Wonder how the Moxon is being achieved mechanically?

Moxons are great - I have a wire one for 10m right now & although I have
yet to get it tuned properly, the F/R is just what the doctor ordered with
all the bleeps, blurps & other flatulence from the illegals.

Two SteppIR-Moxon elements set up for 40 based on the info from W4RNL's
site when retracted for 30 would be about 0.19 wavelengths apart - this could
be a very interesting product!
