[VHFcontesting] Yagi vs Moxon

[Walt Murphy]

  All us old 6m AM Mobile Ops had either a Saturn 6 or the HyGain 2 ring 
Halo or at the end of AM days the Squalo.

      If anyone finds a how to build a Saturn 6 instruction manual please 
pass along.

  My Saturn 6 lost a battle with a low tree branch and 2-3 years later my 
HyGain due to op error met the overhead door of my garage.

Correct.

Compact is the key. I have never felt comfortable driving with a full size 
yagi in place on the rover vehicle. It is wider than the vehicle... You can 
turn a 3 element 90 degrees offset, but this is annoying as well.

The folded ends of the moxon make it narrow enough to fit with the "foot 
print" of the vehicle, with only a small sacrifice in performance.

Works for me.

Who made the old 6m halo's with the three "rings"? I picked one up at a 
hamfest last weekend...
