Of late, PVC Pipe has become the mainstay of my antenna projects. Very timely vid as I've been wanting to play with 50M Repeaters and look for some simplex SSB chats. Great construction method using Tees and 45deg Ells. Right down my alley. HAHA Thanks for posting this....... 73 OM

Awesome video, thanks for the in depth view of your build, I’m working on building this for a weekend project.
-
Thanks! Great video. My new Moxon is 87% complete. Need to invent my feed point and tune and be ready for the 6m openings!
-
Just came across your video. Nice version. 👍Mine is still up in the air after all these years. The resonant point on mine has dropped a little after all this time but it is just fine for my operations. 73 John - N1PCE

Useful, thanks Chuck.
-
Nice job Chuck!
-
I did also. I have an MFJ-1896 6 Meter Moxon. I want to build a 2 meter version. And yes, mine covers the whole band. These are great antennas. There is a program on the internet called moxgen that will help you design it. They have good front to back also. Very good antenna and they do work mounted vertically.
-
Thank you for the nice video! I'm new and learning so I like making stuff and saving money
-
Good video and explanation. Sorry from over 497 viewers the guys were too busy to hit the "thumbs up" button that Youtube judges you on.
-
Hi Chuck, Just missed the Premiere. Nice design and compact. 73 WJ3U
-
Nice build! Maybe you want to try a lambda loop also fed with a J-feed. I made some interesting experience with that on higher frequencies.
-
Great video, Chuck.
-
Well how about a demo to your buddy 80 miles away. Did it work well? What has been your experience with it? Nice video thanks for the instructions.
-
Thanks for the video. How do you adjust for best SWR, and what kind of band width do you have?
-
Would it work if I mount both elements for 6 and 4 meter on the same setup?
-
Your gaps are absolutely critical per experience on 2 meter. What I am questioning is feed point gap. I found that critical too. You will have to recalc if go to lager wire. But hell of a 2 meter low power ssb 144.2
-
Nice work, Thank you for sharing. WS7PB
-
Can you stack different bands together like on a cobweb?
-
I built one of these chuck and I swear the band rarely opens here. Glad I didn’t buy a 5 el yagi. Haha
-
Cool build. I just had a couple of questions, I think I know the answers, but.... 1) These measurements are point to point and not actual pvc cut lengths? 2) The 2" spacing on the insulator, that 2", is that between the two contacts or OAL of the plastic insulator? Oh, how high did you end up mounting this? Thanks, two thumbs up 👍👍
