20m Moxon Beam Antenna - Basic Build & Overview 

This is a great primer on the moxon! I've been ignoring the moxon, but you are making me want to experiment!

Fine job Colin. Yes we have that nasty line noise here in the states also. Moxons are only second to quads. :)

Great vid mate, my version was a complete disaster and gave up as verticals are much easier to play with in my garden with plants, trees and fences to contend with. I was contemplating a 3 band hexbeam using the fibreglass tent poles for a winter project. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

Great info my friend, I am building a moxon for channel 38 SSB and have tested it with a 1.1 swr. Thanks and 73!

Great job Colin, CONGRATULATIONS!!! you inspire me to build one by myself Thanks for sharing. 73 Dani

Hey Nice build Collin! Ham Radio Dude and I are going to take My Moxon out tomorrow On a POTA/SOTA with his 705, we have had it up at 6' for a couple days and it has been working great. Moxon are great antennas, I am trying to figure a couple more bands on mine not sure it will work yet. Hey instead of cutting your spreaders try figuring out how much the next section needs to go inside and put a spacer inside or suspend the wire with some paracord to take up the distance. I hat to see you cut those nice Mast!! 73

Best way is the hard way Colin Coz We keep going till we get perfection A would spend weeks getting yagis as close to the computer would say Sometimes better Can't beat the home brew ant that works great after the hard work Good job bud 👍👍❤

Excellent Colin, de Trig

Great job Colin you’ll get there I’m sure and it’ll be a dx machine 👍

Great work Colin 👏 be great to see someone try and make a mini hexbeam or a hexbeam the same size as a cobwebb.theyd sell so well just don't see why noones bothered making one 🤔 73's till the next one

I loved the video except for the dog barking. My homebrew 20m Moxon will be 18m high on my mast. Before going up I will do lots of testing. I will be using British Army D10, two lenghts of it. Thanks for all your videos. de ON8EI

Looks very nice. The laminate looks very interesting - I have been experimenting with a homebrew laminate of Correx sheet for centre plates but they lack rigidity at the edges which the aluminium would avoid.

You could have worked that VK if you were on CW. Nice build, I’m planning my own for 17m. I appreciate that you owned your error. You could have cut that out.

Thanks very much for video !!

Awesome! thank you for sharing. 73 de VE3DAL.

👍👽👍

I did enjoy it! FAB .

Great video, I am looking at making one and this is very good, relly like the base plate. If you dont mind me asking whats the material called and where did you get it. 73 M7FET

I see a big difference in moxon calculator results.

Put a 1:1 choke at the antenna feed point Colin then test again before cutting wires. Your feeder length maybe affecting tuning.

add the full butt section do not clip the tip ends and then move the element clips to tension the antenna. GM0EEH

Hello Colin! watched all (or most!) of your videos related to moxon antenna. Question: have you ever tried the multiband version of moxon? Is it actually doable? 73 from Georgia

It's good to follow you on this series and thanks for putting your hand up when things go wrong. There are too many perfect RU-vid videos and as the saying goes, "you learn from your mistakes ". Best 73 G0ACE

And super on 5 watts....

Congratulations. Nice build.

I have had moxons for 20, 17, 15, 12m. Worked 303 dxcc's with them. 73, ES1TU.

I might try to build one in the spring. Thanks for sharing……73

Collin, Great video mate. I love the fact of how you explained how you built it. Wonderful work. I’d like to use this on my RU-vid channel that helps encourage people to come into ham radio as well as explain different things that they can learn how to do to become more effective at it. I’m doing a show about Moxon antennas… This is perfect. I’ll make sure and credit your channel and put a link to it in my description. All the best to you mate. Larry de K7HN

Hi - I have a dipole for 20m and Mr Moxon is perhaps my next step so thanks for the insights, cheers M0YAX.

Smashing video colin really enjoyed it. Always wanted yo build my own moxon. U may have made me start mine now 😁

Great video Colin! Thank you for sharing. I've been considering a 20m Moxon for the simplicity and front to back ratio. Jeff KF0BPN
