I am looking at making a light weight 20m Moxon antenna for the light house weekend.
Has anyone made a short Moxon by putting a coil in the element, I have some old traps that I have dismantled and plan on using the coil and insulated former to shorten the elements.
Got some good ideas from this site http://www.moxonantennaproject.com/IK0GDH/IK0GDH.htm
What I would like to know is there any tips on working out the correct length with the coil in the elements, or should I just put it together and adjust using a antenna analyser?
Any ideas options appreciated
