Dualband-Moxon-Beam for 10 m and 6 m
By DK7ZBThis project involves constructing a dual-band Moxon antenna, optimized for ham radio enthusiasts, with functionality on both the 10-meter and 6-meter bands. The antenna is designed to operate using a single 50-ohm feedpoint, acting as a mini-beam on 28 MHz (10 meters) and as a 2-element Yagi on 50 MHz (6 meters). Performance-wise, it offers a 4.0 dBd gain on 10 meters and 4.3 dBd on 6 meters, with impressive front-to-back ratios of 30 dB and 11 dB, respectively.
Builders like Aleks (S54S) and Marcio (PY2OK) have successfully brought this design to life using the provided specifications. Aleks noted that bending the corners of the structure proved especially useful during assembly. The project comes with a detailed parts list, highlighting the use of aluminum tubes with different diameters and lengths to form essential components like the reflectors and radiators.
For those looking to fine-tune the antenna, adjustments can be made by altering the length of certain parts that fit into larger tubes. The feeding system is equipped with a balun to accommodate different power levels, making the design versatile enough to handle outputs of either 300 watts or 1 kilowatt.
