I finally built that 10m Moxon beam I've been threatening to build since last May. You know, back when 10m conditions were still excellent, unlike now...

RR OM. Still needs a bit of work—it resonates a little low at the moment but I guess that's better than if it were resonating high.

Good Job!
I built a Moxon for 2M. I was very impressed with it.

Huh, crickets. WTF happened?

If you like, we can try some digital on ten tomorrow. Might go right on over, but you never know. BTW how high up are you planning to mount it?

It took a little more work than I expected but I've finally got it so it resonates in the 10m band instead of 11m, inserted properly in the rotor and ready to go. Now, I just need some help to get it into place—it's a bit too awkward to deal with by myself. How high I'm going to mount it is, in essence, as high as I can manage to get it.
