Due to the enourmous size of 3 element Yagi and the current working condition on 10/11 meter band, I decided to accept the advice of 9W2RZL and thinking of constructing a directional antenna right after I obtain the 11/10 meter rig (which is maybe around April).

Moxon antenna might suit my need as it is :

• directional
• has gain of around 5 dBi
• Compact and Light weight
• Easy to construct
• designed for 50 Ohm impedance
• Wideband
• Great F/B ratio, useful for blanking noise

Here is the plan for the 10 meter Moxon antenna, centered on 28.5 MHz frequency.

Dimensions

• A – 382.43 cm (150 1/2 inch)
• B – 57.13 cm (22 1/2 inch)
• C – 11.02 cm (4 3/8 inch)
• D – 71.06 cm (28 1/4 inch)
• E – 139.76 cm (55 inch)

These calculation are made for 12 gauge wire using L. B. Cebik Moxon Calculator tool. The Moxon on the above photo belong to Mark Rabel
