[VHFcontesting] KU4AB 6m Loop vs. PAR Moxon

[beamar via VHFcontesting]

I was not familiar with KU4AB. So, I  went to the KU4AB website. He has some interesting antennas, at good prices. The tri band antenna looks very interesting. But, if he doesn't perform, it isn't very cheap or very good. Maybe somebody will forward these posts to him.

AJ4LU and I used one for several run and gun rover ops, covering 20+ grids at 70 MPH. We even turned it in motion with no issues other than mounting it backwards the first time!

After months of waiting, a phone call, and several emails, I gave up and consider my $87 lost. But this provided the opportunity to look into other antennas and came across the PAR Moxon. The company was very responsive and the antenna performs nearly as well as my yagi. Its a bit bigger than the loop might have been, but it fits just fine on the rover mast and has some gain. I have not yet experienced 60mph highway speeds. If anyone has any experience with the PAR 6m Moxon in a rover application I would like to know if it holds up or if I should take the wire and side "sticks" off while traveling.
