Ham Radio - Moxon Antenna backyard installation

This will be my setup for the winter, but I will get out there some days for QRP when the weather permits. The antenna wire is not that green actually, I just highlighted to be visible.

Nice Moxon antenna Almir! I'll have to read more about the theory of the antenna. By the way, I noticed u repeatedly bending over to listen to ur top-mounted, almost backward-facing speaker. U may want to consider adding a separate front-facing speaker for better clarity (and less bending over). I added one to my shack and it made a BIG difference in understanding the noisy stations. Of course, headphones work but I don't like to wear them 😃 73 KJ6ER

Hey Greg! Thank you, I'm very happy with this antenna for the winter setup. The only is that I can't rotate because I used the trees to secure. There were times that I saw you on the POTA but because this antenna is fixed I couldn't hear you. That's a great idea I will look into some front face speakers for sure, the same here I don't like headphones either. Keep activating those wonderful parks. Best 73's my friend de VE3DAL.

good job thanks

Surely a centre fed dipole has about 300 ohms impedance at its resonant frequency. A 6:1 Balun will give proper match to 50 ohm co-ax cable. Or am I missing something?.

[@VE3DAL]

Possibly but this is not a dipole.

"Surely a centre fed dipole has about 300 ohms impedance at its resonant frequency..." Perhaps a *FOLDED* dipole (in free space) might be close to 300 ohms.

You get no noise withnthe led lights

[@VE3DAL]

I don't have them on when I'm operating, that would be an issue for sure.

Good Afternoon Almir. This Antenna Setup will definitly get you thru the Winter. I like these LED Cubes a lot. Good Job. Happy Hump Day & 73 de YFUG 💯🙋‍♂

[@VE3DAL]

Hey Guenter good to hear from you! I was very impressed by this antenna even in situations like that. I like to make projects that involve LEDs, there are so many things you can do with it. Thank you and best 73's my friend. VE3DAL

Great article, Almir!! I am looking to design my own Moxon, and yours, by far is the very simplest hub that I have ever seen!! Great design!! 73's!! ..and thanks!.. K6PAM

[@VE3DAL]

Hey thank you so much! BTW the idea I got online and what the most i like is that the arms are free easy to insert and remove which is perfect for portable operations. Best 73's my friend de VE3DAL.

That's great ! Whats the furthest DX station you have reached so far with this moxon ?

[@VE3DAL]

Thank you. I furthest DX was to Alaska and it was during the day. With this setup I have I can only get signals from west and a little from south. I don't have the HOA problem in my area but I have my wife lol. 73's de VE3DAL.
