Max CRASHED Another Moxon Antenna ~ ON CAM!!!

Nice set up with the mast, hopefully it'll go 100% OK, glad you didn't loose any fingers 😎

Reflexes of a cat. The thumbnail shows it. Cheers

Ouch, now I understand why you sent me here, those Jubilee clips are definitely a must....... Your fingers were lucky to have escaped without any missing parts.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Yees indeed, you can see my reaction, hands/fingers clear. Thanks again. Cheers

An antenna I want to build for 11meters I have built several for 2meters and 70cm but I have just returned to 11meter band currently running a home brew T2LT and over the last few days a 5/8 gain master home brew, on a makeshift 10m mast. Fantastic channel keep them videos coming 26TG064, 26CT4525 regards Tony

You maybe saw a subsequent video on the build. If not check it out. Thanks for those kind words. Cheers

Quite the friendly design! What I'm wondering is how much of a compromise in performance is it when compared with a wider-spaced (7') 2 el true Yagi? ...or Quad? I respect your ingenuity in repairing it on the spot and getting it back to performing top notch. 👍 I experienced a similar occurrence when a galvanized heavy-duty 4-section Rohn telescoping mast - sporting a large 1970's old-school Weinguard TV antenna & rotor - slid down like that and caught the web of my thumb between guy wire rings. I was a 17yr old football player who (fortunately) spent too many hours in the gym and had massively toned hand muscles or (the Doc said) I would've lost my thumb. All due to the "Mickey-mouse" way my father did things to save time & money - usually at the expense of either greater future time & dollars (or someone else's) and in this case had installed the mast upside-down - with the smaller diameter at the bottom. - I yelled F(A)CK! and jumped down off the 8' high roof trying to stop the spurting of blood. Anyway, a few months later all was well and no loss suffered other than my pride, and I assure you, the first word in response to any further requests from my father to assist him in one of his "Projects" became the same as my last word; *_"NO!"_* 🤨 *_...So_* I'm working on finishing something similar to your portable. I've built a 2 El Quad for the *"Static mobile"* (

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Interesting, thanks. The Moxon will out perform a 3el.Yagi anfd not far behind a 2el.quad. More to come here. I didn't get rid of the FT450D. It stays at home and is a fantastic radio. Cheers

[@MrJarbuck]

Some signal difference there from Magmount to Moxon, did you do any RX TX comparison's against Gus's Quad while you were there? Great wee watch again.

[@MaxMountainWorld]

We did but we were a bit overwhelmed by various factors and errors. Both antennae very strong. Cheers

[@michael-pw9cz]

Your very lucky you did't catch some skin as it slipped down.. yes the way to put mast up is a lot better than before saves time .. i did here you last night but it was a pile up i tried a couple of time when i think you were on the car roof antenna then you said you had to go 73's Max

[@MaxMountainWorld]

I have fast reflexes. Now waiting the right conditions. Catch you soon 73's

[@MrRW1980]

what exactly is tthe mast ???? very good video

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Hi. It is a Spiderbeam mast. Have a look at this kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZavkISNrbqti8U Cheers

[@MrRW1980]

@@MaxMountainWorld perfect we use it with the easyfed from IFS funktechnik austria but the spiders do collapse once in a while.....

[@MaxMountainWorld]

@@MrRW1980 The Mast is a great piece of kit, came from Austria too, from my mate Gus. I have since perfected the whole set up now as you can see in my recent Radio Videos. Cheers
