Latest Project: 17 Meter Moxon


17 Meter Moxon by AE6AC

That's what I have in mind.  I ordered four fiberglass "crappie" poles yesterday.  I have a tripod for the roof.   What should I use to spin this thing around?  A TV rotor is an obvious solution, but the last time I used one it didn't hold up too well.  There is always the Armstrong method...

  2. Nigel: Well, I'm an SSB guy these days and it would be quite anti-social on 30 meters! *1 is a wonderful band. Give it a try. Regards to Ian and Tony and the whole group. 73 Bill
