15 METER MOXON OF AD5UQ

Well, I told you I'd give it a try, so here is my version of a Moxon antenna.  I had some 3/4" PVC pipe for the spreaders and a piece of thick Plexiglas for the center support.  The mast is a piece of 1.25" conduit and a pipe that was the guide rail for a garage door opener.  I used 14 ga. stranded copper wire and a 1:1 ballun off of a dipole that I had at one time.  I just got it up today, and my first contact was KP2BH in the Virgin Islands.

Initial analysis says this antenna is 2 S-units stronger that the GAP vertical, but I've got a lot more testing to do.
