In this application-based video, Derek makes use of the general knowledge of dipole antennas that he's gained to create a simple two-element antenna that provides some directivity. By introducing a reflector near the driven element, he can manipulate and direct the RF energy in one direction.
He'll also talk a bit about the ionosphere, the evolution of our antenna from dipole to the Moxon design, and cover the build process of his DIY antenna. Lastly, he takes the new rig out to the park for a test run to try and contact some folks in different countries!

I’m a mechanical engineering student right now. I’m in my first circuits class and we are learning about AC. This is so cool. Thank you for inspiring me to get into amateur radio! I learned so much watching this and the previous 3 videos.

@7alfatech860 Год назад

Good to see the final result of the theory 👍

@AmRadPodcast Год назад

And soooo much fun putting something like this together. Simulations are cool and everything, but making the thing work is the exciting part (at least to me).

FL to QC on 28?! lovely! p.s. Moxon is a new one for me. thanks! --VE6IU

Glad to see it’s all come together!

Thanks Sterling and thanks for taking time to nerd out about antennas.

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Great job with the video Derek 👍

Thanks!

FWIW: I live in North Carolina now, but I was born & raised in St. Pete. I also lived in Dade County for about 7 years. Flip-flops are DEFINITELY mandatory. I _still_ wear them here in NC as long as weather permits.

nice antenna! im looking forward doing my license this or next year in germany 73

Good luck! -Derek

Thank you for the education. Just acquired my tech license, studying for a general class certification. Love to fabricate and plan to build my antennae.

Thank you for explaining so well. God bless you!

Nice work Derek, thanks for sharing! 73 - Dino KLØS

@AmRadPodcast Год назад

Thanks Dino. Antennas are a blast to make, so this one was cake!

@JamiesHackShack Год назад

Great vid. I've been wanting to play with a 10m moxon for years. Maybe I'll finally do it now! 😂

@AmRadPodcast Год назад

It was pretty easy once I got my hands on all the components. I'd say the most difficult part was the hub.. Good luck. -Derek

@NotSure416 23 дня назад

I love your engineering approach to HAM radio. There is a lot of "just do this, and it'll work". Yeah, but WHY!?!?!

@jonahzsong Год назад

Great presentation, Derek. I've read a bit about the Moxon, but didn't appreciate nor grasp its directional gain over a 2-element Yagi. 73 de N6BVZ/4 (north Georgia) Wil.

@AmRadPodcast Год назад

Thanks Wil. I need to spend some more time with it, but from the simulations, it looks like the front to back is a little better than a standard Yagi.

@joe-kb9rcr 8 месяцев назад

Hi Derek. I just ran across this video while searching on diy anrenna projects. I've been interested in the moxon for a while now and since it seems to keep showing up in my searches, it may be a sign it look further into them. Also, I will be looking into your element14 community. It sounds like something i would find interesting. How can i find more information on your moxon antenna such as more information on the fiberglass poles and where i might find them. 73 de Joe KB9RCR

@jamesdunham1072 23 дня назад

This was great. What is the best way to study and then take the test for my Technician license?

@jasonf9736 6 дней назад

James, If you like reading, I suggest "the easy way ham books". Great study guide that teaches you the correct answers to your ham exam. In two weeks you'll be ready to sit and pass whichever class exam you choose to take, except for the extra class license. That will take a little bit more time 😉 Good luck, and don't hesitate! We are around the height of this solar cycle, and you will be able to make the best of a technicians license talking on the 10 meter band. Best wishes!

I think the signal reflects not refrect the signal , refraction will let the signal penetrate through the ionosphere , right ??

@AmRadPodcast Год назад

With RF traveling through the ionosphere it's a gradual bending of the propagated signal, which is frequency dependent, so it's said to refract. Optics texts are usually more cut and dry, mostly ignoring the wavelength (I assume because it's comparatively short), stating that if bounced off a plane then it's reflection, otherwise it's refraction. At 28MHz it's getting bent as it travels through the ionosphere so isn't like a direct reflection off a mirror. Great question though! -Derek

@mra2878 Год назад

I need ur help...i am working on a project called damage detection of road pavement using piezo sensors....can u help me on that topic

@AmRadPodcast Год назад

Hi Mr A. This sounds like an interesting project. I would definitely recommend joining the community in this instance. There are many folks at e14 that would probably have experience with piezo transducers, maybe even industry experts.
