[TowerTalk] Building a W6NL Moxon 40 Meter Beam.

[Tim Duffy]

Hello Lee:

You keep talking about a Director on this antenna. There is only a Driven
element and a Reflector. The W6NL Moxon is two elements. I did not use the
channel from Cushcraft to support the elements. I made G10 fiberglass plates
with stainless clamps from DXE. Direct feed with a W0IYH style bead choke. 

Operation is flawless - over 5 years in the air - no problems.

73,
Tim K3LR

Scott,

Thanks for your reply. However, I realize the antenna works very well.  That
is why I want to build one.  But, maybe it can be made to work better.
That's my point.  Am I not thinking clearly on this? Maybe I am not.  Why
won't the 2 foot long channel not be reducing efficiency on the Director or
will it indeed not induce inefficiency? (It sure does reduce efficiency on a
car body.)  I need to get rid of my fear.  Just seems to me the channel
mounting scheme is mechanically strong and is no problem for the grounded
Reflector, but it is not a good idea electrically at the Director for
efficiency. Somebody explain to me why my fear is not correct. Where is my
thinking flawed?  (I hope I am not upsetting the group with my persistence.)


Lee, w0vt
