A 6 meter two element beam for restricted spaces.


Here's an interesting 6 meter antenna project from Hayden Honeywood (VK7HH).

Hayden introduces us to a 6 meter, 2-element beam based on an original design from the late Les Moxon (G6XN). Moxon antennas are inexpensive, easy-to-build, and exhibit modest gain over a dipole antennas.

Here are a few comments from Hayden (VK7HH):

Our Field Day is coming up, so we decided to build one for the 6 meter band and demonstrate the fun that can be had building and experimenting with antennas! This is a Moxon antenna and it is a popular directional 2 element beam antenna that takes up less space (70%) than a standard yagi.
