Construction and performance data for a 144 MHz vertical Moxon antenna using PVC and wire.
Description
Presents the construction and performance characteristics of a 2-meter vertical Moxon antenna designed by WB5CXC. The antenna utilizes 1/2-inch PVC and #6 copper ground wire for its physical structure. Performance data includes measured front-to-back ratio using a local repeater, demonstrating significant signal attenuation when rotated.
The resource provides antenna pattern plots, with blue tracing the design at 146 MHz and red indicating performance at 148 MHz. Gain and SWR plots are also included, alongside a detailed diagram of the antenna's physical layout. The design emphasizes a good front-to-back ratio, aligning with modeling predictions.
