We often think of the Moxon rectangle as strictly an HF antenna. However, its small size and special far field pattern lend themselves to some VHF applications. So let's see how to adapt the design to 2 meters (as a popular band choice) and also see a few of the uses to which we may effectively put the design.

A six meters band Quagi antenna project

The resource provides detailed information about a five-band indoor magnetic loop antenna designed for amateur radio operators. This antenna is capable of operating on the 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meter bands, making it a versatile choice for various HF communications. Constructed from a single 3-meter length of 22 mm copper tube, the design emphasizes compactness and efficiency, which is particularly beneficial for operators with limited space. The page includes insights into the construction process, tuning, and operational tips, catering to both novice and experienced users. In addition to the technical specifications, the resource also discusses the advantages of using a magnetic loop antenna indoors, such as reduced interference and improved performance in urban environments. It serves as a practical guide for those interested in building their own antenna, offering a straightforward approach to antenna design and construction. Overall, this resource is a valuable addition to the toolkit of amateur radio enthusiasts looking to enhance their station with an effective indoor antenna solution.

Demonstrates the construction and on-air performance of the _NB6Zep_ antenna, a modified 20-meter Extended Double Zepp design optimized for multi-band operation from 40 through 10 meters. The resource covers basic design principles, including dimensions of 66 feet horizontal and 5 feet vertical elements, and specifies open ladder line or TV twin lead for the transmission line. It details material selection for low-cost wire antenna construction, such as 18 AWG wire for the legs and ceramic or plastic insulators, along with practical tips for soldering connections and insulating against moisture. The author, NB6Z, shares insights from extensive _EZNEC_ modeling to optimize the antenna's total length for a 40-meter half-wave dipole footprint and feed line length for direct tuner connection. The article presents field results, including successful _PSK31_ contacts from Oregon to the East Coast on 40 and 30 meters with 50 watts, even at a low height of 6 feet. It provides detailed performance characteristics for each band, noting the _NB6Zep_'s highest gain (over 3 dB) and sharp, medium-angle lobes on 20 meters, which yielded strong DX reports to locations like Korea, Japan, and Argentina. For 17 and 15 meters, it describes a butterfly-like pattern with broad lobes, while 12 and 10 meters exhibit narrow, directional lobes in an "X" configuration. The author also shares personal experiences operating successfully for over a decade in an antenna-restricted environment using the NB6Zep and other stealth wire antennas.
