[TowerTalk] Recommendations for Purchasing a short 2 Element 40 Meter Beam

[Grant Saviers]

The gap between the Moxon tips is less than between non Moxon elements 
but sufficient to clear most any guyed tower.  I have one (bought) that 
came down from R45 via a tram and will go up on a new R65 tower the same 
way, built one and put it up with a boom lift on a HDX589 and built 
another that went up on a crane on R45.  What is the specific concern?

All are the scratch build "110mph" Leeson designs.

The 2 element 40 is one of the smallest antennas he builds.  His stuff is massive.  No bent metal brackets, plated U bolts.  Take a look.  On the reviews in eham there is a great story of an installation at WT8V, to give you an idea of what to expect if you get one.
