I’m currently trying to design a drive on plate for myself, I love how you can just slot the bottom of the pole down into the base. I’m thinking I want mine to do it, leaving the rubber bottom on so the poles won’t slide out while setting it up. I’m also thinking the rubber might act like a bit of a cushion if any of the poles come loose and fall down.

Yeah, I came across that by accident, coinciding sizes, and it works really well. There's no problem with sections dropping through. Just put it on its side to separate it. when it is up I have it so it is no longer possible for the sections to fall. Learnt my lesson after my wee accident (on Video) The plug keeps it rattle-proof in the boot. Cheers

very nice and well done . i want to make one my self and make it multi band 20m,15, and 10m. got some plan designs online. we'll see what happens. anyway thanks for the video!

Thanks for your comment here. This is a great antenna for its size. I am not sure if it would be adaptable for multi band, maybe worth looking into the possibility of making a hex-beam for that. Certainly for my own use this is perfect and literally that easy to construct. Go for it, have fun. Cheers

Max - use a D type quick release pin for the bolt and nut! Cheers

Not sure I need to, really. Works pretty well as it is. Cheers

Bonjour Max tu es un crack, je vois toutes tes vidéos à part ça tu vis dans un super et très bel endroit et au-dessus de toi comme le meilleur groupe heavy « the Iron Maiden » Haha.Estoy toujours avec le projet du moxon j’ai terminé et ma question est, le câble radio est rg58 qui joint le fil des anches avec la radio ?pas besoin de câble 75oh pour lui donner résonance ?. Un câlin, merci 30 AJR 005, Madrid

Bonjour, Merci pour ca. Le 1er. pour moi AC/DC. Bonne courage si tu a fabriqué un Moxon. J'ai 11m.x RG8mini (50-52ohm) co-ax (j'ai deux si besoin de prolonger). Des astuces sur le Video j'ai fait aujourd'hui aussi. Merci encore. 73's Cheers

Excellent video max, Can I ask what length the telescopic fishing rods are at full stretch. Cheers Sid, 108DD124, I recently managed to build a 2 Element quad with excellent results too. 73, 51,

@MaxMountainWorld Жыл бұрын

Thanks. To be honest I can't remember and my notes are long gone. The 140deg/40deg is important and with the wire dimensions pretty much determines pole lengths off the cross-bars. I may have mentioned this sizing in one of my earlier Moxon Videos. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this point. 73's Cheers

Hi Max how do you set the swr up on it or at the lenght's the wire is just right .. might have a go at one of these for the garden

@MaxMountainWorld 2 жыл бұрын

Provisionally set up and the wire installed too long then clipped back to perfect swr before fabricating/soldering the wire-end loops. A long process to raise the antenna each time but well worth the effort. Go on. it is easy and let me know any more Q's etc as well as how you get on with it. Cheers

how is that SWR? Is a thin 0.5mm cable sufficient for the radiator?

Absolutely.

OMG it's my twin brother. same equipment same ex pat situation about 100km away, similar hair and beard. mad! get in touch brother! lol I have a Spiderbeam pole like this, i had a similar idea for a base but with a longer metal plate you can drive the tyre onto. I was planning on taking it up to Avoriaz. But it's really a project for my big tree extendable mast. top secret. lol but in all honesty i have a new idea, much better than any mast out there, very different, never seen it done before. reply here then we can get in contact for more info, some dx etc. I had 2x avanti sigma IV and many other antenna. Contacted Brazil Sao Paulo last night on 100W and a mag mount on a tin chalet roof! result! Ps. look up tuning moxon by adding a wire hanging down in one corner of the driven and one corner of the reflector!
