11m. Moxon Fast-Build ~ How Long Does it Take?

Test Assembly in the Garage with a Couple Small mods.
Did it Work?
Thanks Again Matthew 108AT103
And Mark 108AT102 for a Quality Moxon Build.
I Have Only Made Adjustments for Ease of Operation.

Nice job Max! Referred here by another ham with a moxon and I really like the set up. Makes be think about setting up a mast base for several different portable and semi portable set ups in the back yard. Will be incorporating some of your techniques for sure!

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Thanks. I did another Video more recently you may find interesting, includes a tour of the set up in the Jag. Cheers

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Clever stuff. I like the coding for the poles and wire. Sort of thing i would have forgot.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Can't wait to try it out in anger. Cheers

fred you should have seen the 4 element we had at the delta romeo meet this weekend just gone made just as well as this and had great ears

Hello Max nice video off the moxon antenna , do the best regards to Matthew and Mark good friends off my . Helpt them with the delta loop . 73's cheers

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Thanks Alot. Cheers

Good video Max i like the minor adjusts you have made. This video just shows how easy you can build a moxon well..(if you have the ability to build like ourselves). I can assure u these are are one of the best beams to use on 11m base or portable. I have had mine up on a rotator on my roof for a good few months now and never had a problem (and always good S reports 5/9+ when prop is open, using low pwr) As you say the moxon is definitely a good antenna for swl as the pic up signals well because off there triangular shape. All complete now, just waiting for prop. Was a pleasure for me and 102 to build. 73’s 108AT103

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Nice One Matthew. You can see that the changes I made are purely practical (based on the Excellent job you guys made) More Soon. Thanks again 73's

great presentation i learned heaps.

Thanks. I have a few videos on the Moxon now but it has been a while. Going high with it today!!! Cheers

[@gbpauluk]

Good video Max, i have been using a wire Moxon for years for portable and homebase they work very well and the rejection is fantastic, I use 4 fishing telescopic fishing whips and it weighs next to nothing.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

I Just Did a Detailed video on it yesterday. Check it out. Thanks for Your Comment. Cheers

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

A good unit and well explained. thank-you! An ideal antenna for one band like 11metres. I might have a go at one of these.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Thanks. Yes, an incredible antenna. I have more recently done another Video on "how to build" the Moxon. This may be of use to you to see how I have built the third one. Cheers

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

@@MaxMountainWorld Thanks, I'll have a look

[@MaxMountainWorld]

@@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE Last month I think (June) a bit of a run down of the set up in the car same video

[@dangermandave67]

Great video. How critical are the rod lengths after you've measured out the wires to the correct lengths?

[@MaxMountainWorld]

The lengths of the rods was the final adjustment to have the shape, angles and tensions correct. I have a few Videos on the build and construction, measurements and use. Cheers

[@thereformedvapist4829]

rub some candle wax on your rods at the joins. stops them sticking

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Thanks, noted. I think I have it more or less sussed. Have a look at my more recent Videos on this great antenna (as I developed it) Cheers

Was it my imagination or did Max let rip a corker @ 8.17, Great video and antenna BTW

[@MaxMountainWorld]

No Imagination. Well Spotted. I thought I got away with that! Thanks 73's

[@MaxMountainWorld]

I will think positive and assess that my audio worries/settings for the camera were unfounded!!! Cheers

Have 1 for 144 mhz and 70 cm i love them jg

Just waiting for better wether here to really use it in anger. Thanks for your comment, Cheers

[@adriansaldana7155]

Hi Max! what type of poles are you using? thanks.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Fishing rods

[@dalebarnes2737]

Make sure you use UV stabilized cable ties otherwise eventually they will deteriate and break.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Already considered and done. Thanks, Good point. Cheers

[@eddiebailey4727]

How many watts will that antenna handle and can you talk on regular CB band with it and 40 below and 40 above

[@MaxMountainWorld]

I have tested it with 500watts and no issues. It tunes SWR < 1.7:1 25.8-28.0 mhz so your 40 Ch +/- no problem. Thanks for Your Comment. Take Care, Cheers

[@PatAutrey]

do you have schematics for the hub? also where did you source the poles?

[@MaxMountainWorld]

The original hub came from friends in Scotland. My more recent one used hoover pipes cut to size. I have no schematic but the important part is to keep the 40deg/140deg angles. The cheepie fishing rods from sports shop did the rest. Have a look at my other Moxon set-up Videos. Cheers

[@PatAutrey]

@@MaxMountainWorld ok! so you salvaged some pipes from a vacuum cleaner - that is brilliant! love your construction vids
