Nice setup. I looked at your pictures. Is your 6 meter Moxon mounted
backwards with respect to your other antennas? I think it might be a driven
element and reflector... Therefore the wire reflector element should be
behind the square aluminum driven element. Any other guys got an opinion?
I have misplaced my assembly sheet.
Most rotators (Yaesu, Ham X series, Emoto, Alliance) run on 24vdc so there
is no need to buy a dc rotor. I just bought a controller from MDS. It
replaces my 110vac control box with a digital display and computer
interface. The MDS controller uses a simple 2.5mm 13.8v dc hook up and
supplies 24vdc for most rotator series. Pretty slick and half the price of
other digital controllers. See http://www.mds-ham.com
