[K3PZN-List] 6m Moxon

[Curt Milton]

Joe

you seem to always have an interesting project ahead.  definitely many of us will want to hear about your construction technique (and details on supply of materials).

i had a blast in the past with my TT1208 transverter, but its pc board was cheaply made and it may be beyond repair (or my patience!).  

enjoy your operating on 6m.  you can enjoy that antenna even at a modest height for E-skip.  

new in my shack is a W5JH paddle, mounted to my yellow QRP rig.  assembly was only a couple hours if that.
