Wouldn't it be easier to just use a single
higher gain yagi? I'm not sure of the gain of
a "moxon" antenna, but seems they were a
compromise reduced size, or wire X design???
Not sure...I'd have to look into moxon antennas..
I use just a single 3 el NBS yagi and get
about 9.4 dbi gain or so. "free space" MK

Thanks for the tip! I thought about the 3 el NBS and
other designs but when I found plans at Cebik's
site for a **wire** Moxon, I was sold!

One trip to the hardware sto

2x8' Sch 40 1/2" PVC to form an "X" shape
1x1' Sch 40 1-1/2" PVC to bind the X
2x hose clamps to clamp the 1-1/2" PVC to my mast
19' 14g stranded wire for the antenna itself
Electrical tape, string, solder

I had the coax, string, solder & SO-239 to connect
the antenna to the coax on hand. Total cost from the
hardware store - $11.95

Now all I need is a band opening....hihi
