A 6 Meter Two Element Beam for Restricted Spaces

[@HamRadioDX]

Another SUPER SIMPLE Antenna to Build for 6 Meters! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/apmahnqEl7ygqbs

[@mm3nrx]

used a moxon for 10m for years, a top performance gain antenna in a small package. I made a 10m version with a 6m parasitic element and it rocks.

[@thomasmanson1119]

I love that “Hippotenus” shirt!

[@radiotests]

Hayden, you and the VK folks give more to amateur radio than any group on earth. I'm proud to know you. Moxon is a great choice for antennas and knowing the radius deduction is important. Now folks know where old lawn chairs go to die. 🤣

[@HamRadioDX]

Haha thanks Craig, appreciate your support 👍

[@TG9AJR]

Thanks!

[@HamRadioDX]

Thanks Juan!

@@HamRadioDX Hope to see you on the Magic Band, 73

[@vlfreak]

love the moxon, built my first for the 11m band a while back, it was my first (and a great) directional antenna

[@williherberich5483]

How are the SWR...

[@K5YVY]

I was #65 to click 👍 , I also saw "Moxon" and smelt a Chuck KK6USY, nice to see Moxon talk in VK :)

[@AnthonyJones-vk6xq]

When you get ten minutes go and order any of Les Moxons books from the RSGB, the guy was a genius..........

[@gazzas123]

I have made a 2m moxon as i wanted the front to back radio. I works very well. I made the separation and mounting brackets on my 3d printer.

[@TonyLing]

5:10 blissfully Imperial free

[@snakezdewiggle6084]

Radio began in Europe after the Metric System was adopted. The primary gave-away begins with Band Designation, 160m, 80m ... 6m, 2m, 1.25m, etc. Then we have, Kilo Cycles (kcs)... Imperial differs from continent to continent. Imperial is for Ludyts.

[@johnny242001]

I have a Wimo badged 6/4m Moxon, and it’s construction is very similar to this, complete with the Stauff clamps. Their reflector comes as two pieces so uses two clamps and the metal is bridged of course. I think the gap for the feed is a little larger than 10mm, but probably not by much.

[@VK3TWO]

Great laugh watching this! Great work guys!

[@temporarilyoffline]

Looks like great fun

[@HamRadioDX]

It was!

[@Dusty_Ham]

What a cool antenna build. Now I just need a 6m radio and a bit of space so I have an excuse to build one!

[@davidm.wilson3736]

Hi Hayden, Just looking to make a 6 metre antenna as the new radio, ft710aess, will do 6 m. David

[@HamRadioDX]

Nice! Have a look at my 6m vertical antenna on the channel

[@Jeff-sp7bg]

I ordered a 10m 2 element moxon from dx engineering. I have no clue what part goes where the "instructions" make zero sense at all it doesnt give any steps on where to start or what part goes where. Its my first horizontal antenna. Very dissapointing. EAntennas is the company. 300$+ wasted

[@signalscout6020]

Just like my neighborhood, but with yutes! Even the plumbers crack is the same.

[@maurasmith-mitsky762]

Like the lite beer commercial…”Tastes great. Less filling.”

[@californiakayaker]

I've got Les Moxon's book, and, there all called Moxon's .... HF antennas for all locations G6XN orig 1982 reprint 1995 N6GRG

[@K5YVY]

I just felt that PL-259 comment at 14:10 about being perfect then realizing you forgot the screw on sleeve.....

[@robertgarland9342]

Yep they call that an "Oh SHit" moment.

[@HamRadioDX]

Lol everyone has done it!

[@vlfreak]

and its always the most perfect connector youve ever fitted off.. except for that part, grrr! 🙄😂

[@DK5ONV]

Frigging awsome... 💯🤘

[@n8sdr473]

Really Like my 6M and 2M Moxons- they perform as well as 3 elements with a better F/B

9:44 Rivnuts

[@thomasmanson1119]

In some places they’re called Rivnuts.

[@Trent28888]

U could make a smaller version which i think is about 10% smaller and make it into a super moxon

[@gauthammr7382]

Which software you used to remove background noise and clear speech in this video ❤️

[@HamRadioDX]

None

[@paulepruss]

@@HamRadioDX 'corse not - it's "Straian", clearest speech in the world! In fact, some new broadcasts employ Australian voiceovers just to clear up poor audio recordings.

[@andrewjanetzki]

It’s a pity that the bottom portion of 6m is where the primary SSB & digital activity resides. I don’t think too many hang out on 52.100 for the standard license holders. The 6m band could have so much more potential.

[@HamRadioDX]

With the new class license change, Standards will get access to the whole of 6m, so hopefully that will increase activity!

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

Awesome build Guys, and as I like to Moxon or go home Lol

[@HamRadioDX]

Chuck! Is this build KK6USY approved?

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

@@HamRadioDX it sure is! Al u minium is the way to go if you can.

[@hyperionsixzeroeight5064]

what type of motorized mast is that? Looks expensive. How about a video on the mast?

[@HamRadioDX]

It is a hydraulic mast. I've done a couple of videos. Toward the end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5C0coN4mNZ9g9U and this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKmXYqqoe7uMrKc

[@DonzLockz]

Good and solid with aluminium, very impressive.👍 Imperial is a dirty word!... so is mandatory that plumbers butt crack!😆 I need some new tools. Is imperial aluminum cheaper than metric aluminium?🤔😆👍

[@HamRadioDX]

😂

[@barrybogart5436]

Imperial AlumINIUM must be Sterling.

[@johnyoung1128]

In the aviation business a nutsert is called a “ rivnut”

[@captain-Luca-is0hmz]

it doesn't make much sense to build a Moxon for the 6 m band, the antennas are very compact, perhaps a Deltaloop or cubical quad would be better if we're talking about field antennas, otherwise a Yagi Uda 7 fullsize elements 73 de ISØHMZ Luca

[@Jeff-sp7bg]

Why doesnt it make sense? It works well and takes up small space what doesnt make sense about that?

[@mindblast3901]

Moxon on Moxon off🙃

[@barrybogart5436]

Did a few cans of Fosters enter into this project?

[@HamRadioDX]

Fosters is horrible, nobody drinks it anymore

[@glennstevenson6242]

Nobody drinks Fosters in Australia.
