Default Moxon comments welcome

I modeled the Moxon example (EZNEC) at 20 meters and 40 ft elevation
with no big changes. When I allowed the "tails" to hang down it kind
of lost all resemblance to the original model.

The ARRL Antenna modeling course includes the Moxon.
I kind of visualize the elements to be analogous to top hat tuned
parts of a two element Yagi.

I did not receive any Moxon examples in my copy of EZNEC but I am
confident it would model it OK.

I don't recall the feed details.

Thanks, Richard and Paul for answers about Beverage

Here's another one, if you (or anyone) wants to chime in:
There are about 4 paragraphs in the Antenna Book about Moxon design.
Again, in contrast, lots of chatter about it on the newsgroups and on
the air:
Is this a viable alternative to larger yagis and quads?

Specifically, there is an Optibeam OBW10-5. It appears to have a broad
front lobe. But, it also appears to have a lower visible profile, a
plus for the neighbors.

Is it worth consideration?
