- The measurements for this antenna I got from this website w4.vp9kf.com/mo.... You have to take in consideration that the measurements were done with bare wire, if you will use wire with insulation like me that will be slightly off.

Hi Almir, you have done a nice job, now get it to the cottage before the wife hangs washing on it! 73
Hi Alex, That's a good one LMAO! 73's
Another great video for us DIYers. Cheers and thanks for sharing. 73 from central NY.
Thank you so much I appreciate!
Really enjoyed that, a moxon for me, thank you

Thank you so much! Is one of my favorite antenna. Best 73's de VE3DAL.
Thanks you are one of the few video's showing a DIY hub.
My pleasure! 73's de VE3DAL.
Nice project! The only portable (and easy to use) way I can think of to get it higher is the metal Spiderbeam telescopic pole (not that cheap, though). The fibreglass one wouldn't support the flex you'd induce from the long arms, and you would prob want to guy it, but I bet it would work really well, since you're already hitting E Europe from a low height installation in your backyard! The Moxons are cool, basically a 2 el Yagi with folded ends. I like the F/B ratio on them. (when you're not making videos, I find using even cheap $30 Sony headphones really helps me out a lot, compared to the stock speakers).
Thank you! Next is to put this antenna at the prober height with a good mast pole. I love this antenna. I like to record the sound from the radio speaker. 73's
Hey Craig I thought the Spiderbeam was fiberglass as well.
@@VE3DAL They also have a telescopic aluminum one. More $ but looks very solid. Waters and Stanton has a good video showing it.
@@Roddy1965 Oh I didn't know that. I saw some Staton videos before and I will check that out. Cheers Craig!
Nice antenna build. Great contacts. Thanks for sharing your video. Greetings from Houston Texas.
Thank you so much! 73's de VE3DAL.
Hello my friend! the Moxon is the best directional antenna for starters, with the Moxon I started in the world of the DX around 15 years ago, I hope hear you in the air. 73 de KS5Y
Hello Azteca, for sure is a great start with this antenna, it cost almost nothing and it performs fantastic! Best 73's my friend VE3DAL.
@@VE3DAL Quick question, what kind of fiberglass poles did you use? 73
@@clubaztecadxers I used the MFJ1979, at about 15 feet maximum if I would go any longer it gets too flexible for my setup. The Spiderbeam is better but more expensive, maybe in the near future I will get one. Best 73's.
@@clubaztecadxers For the moxon antenna I used fishing carbon fiber poles as spreaders.
Pelo sotaque acho que você é brasileiro também! Projeto lindo, parabéns! Muitos DX pra você!
Ps.: I suspect you are Brazilian too. If not, I meant beautiful project, I wish you tons of DX with it!
Sim sou de Curitiba. Muitíssimo obrigado. 73's de VE3DAL
@@VE3DAL o conteúdo que vice está produzindo é muito bom! Vi que vc tem um 891 também. Eu fiz uma go box muito boa e barata esses tempos. Tem um vídeo no meu canal, caso que esteja pensando em montar uma da pra tirar umas ideias de lá.
Sabe essas pontas impressas em 3d Que você usou na moxon? Está disponível em algum lugar tipo thingverse ?

@@ve2zdx Ola Andre, muito obrigado! Sim o FT891 e fantástico eu adoro. Vou verificar seu box no canal. As ponteiras eu fiz nesse website tinkercad.com, voce cria uma conta de graça e la ja tem os componentes, voce so monta e bem facinho, eles também guardam os arquivos. 73's amigo.
Bonjour Almir. I love your videos. You do a nice job. KB1ASM
Thank you so much! Best 73's my friend VE3DAL.
nice!
Thank you so much!
Nice work Almir that antenna out in the field , higher and in the clear is going to work wonders for you. That test wasn't really fair to the antenna low and surrounded by houses , still you were able to make contacts amazing. 73's watching in NYC really enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much! I can't for that, I'm amazed how good this antenna is in fact yesterday I did the same setup in my backyard and I made over 20 contacts. 73's my friend de VE3DAL.
Hello, Almir. Excellent job especially since it's only a few feet off the ground. I'm about to start a Moxon project for 20 meters and I came across your video. Presently, I have a mini-yogi but with the longer elements of the Moxon I expect to get better gain.
What did you use for the spreader poles?
Hope to hear you on the air - 73 Brad N1JV
Hello Brad, thank you so much! For the spreader I use 4 fishing poles 21' long and used only the bottom 7 session. For the center pole on the field I used the MFJ 1910 fiberglass pole and only the 5 bottom sessions because the rest is to flexible. That gave me about 15' high which is not too bad. The trick about this antenna I found is to get the correct length for the wires. Over all is very simple and I'm sure you can build one, if you have any question let me know. 73's my friend de VE3DAL.
Nice work! What type of fiberglass poles did you use?
Thank you so much! The green ones are carbon fiber fishing poles. 73's de VE3DAL.
