[TowerTalk] Building a W6NL Moxon 40 Meter Beam.

Thanks Tim!!!!

Yes I meant the Driven element!  (Been so wrapped up in this boom mount thing.)  OK on the G10.  I have some G-10 around here close to 1/4 inch thick.  (I etch a lot of G-10 for QRP projects.)  Maybe I now have use for some of this thick stuff I've never used.  What size are your plates?  My stuff is around 12" x 10".  I could etch the copper off of it and maybe even double it up.  But, is 12 inches long enough? (I was even thinking of tearing down a fiberglass step ladder for it's fiberglass channel.)

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.
