	If u like building ant.s I recommend a Moxon. Simple to build, less
footprint & they really work. Especially on HF. Some use them on 6m
too.

	I have a homebrew 30m built on R L Cebiks design. Cobbled from an old
Mosley tribander & a CB Moonraker boom. Weighs less than 25 lbs. & is
at 47' up. I use the K line with the KPA set to 200w. Don't use the
amp often but nice to run 200w sometimes. I chase DX & ragchew on 30m.
I'm often asked what my ant. is because of the signal it puts out. I
believe it's showing two S units gain & the front to side is really
great. Direct 50 ohm feed so no tuner required. Currently I have 310
countries confirmed on one of our truly underused bands.

	Some guys have converted 2 el 40m beams to Moxons & really think they
perform better. 

	It's a seldom seen yagi in NA but a lot of EU DXers swear by them.
