[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 154, Issue 50

[Steve Sacco NN4X]

Hi Luciano -

I'm using a 2L Moxon, converted from a Cushcraft XM240 as specified by 
the legendary Dave Leeson, W6NL.  It's a great antenna, although if I 
had to do it all over again, I'd start from scratch rather than with an 
XM240.

Read Dave's description of the 40M Moxon, along with a comparison to a 
3L Yagi, here: http://www.kkn.net/dayton2004/W6NL_40M_MOXON_YAGI.pdf

Additional excellent documentation is available at K3LR's website: 
http://www.k3lr.com/engineering/


Hope this helps.

73,
Steve

please? Would you consider a linear loaded one like M2 40M4LLDD or would 
you go for the full sized one such as the JK404 Grande from JK Antennas? 
Cost benefit is of utmost importance as the Brazilian Real x American 
Dollar rate doubled in the last months.
