2M. MOXON LOOP ANTENNA

Lightweight 2M.Moxon loop antenna built using the redundant top sections of fishing poles and a short length on plastic tube {water pipe}.

No damage is caused to these sections in this design, the clips holding wire elements were cut from scraps of ptfe. Connections at the feed point could be housed in a small plastic box with a bnc or other connector but this will add to the weight. For the end insulators PVC tubing that’s a push fit onto the wire elements is used.

Wire dimensions came from the Moxon Rectangle Generator found from a google search, then slightly tweaked with antenna analyser for best match.
