Unlike a standard straight-element Yagi, the Moxon folds the ends of the driven element and reflector toward each other.

Mount the 1:1 current balun directly at the center of the driven element. Split the wire, attach each half to the balun terminals, and strain-relieve the coaxial cable connection. 5. Tuning and Optimization

The geometry establishes tight electromagnetic coupling between the elements, offering a wider VSWR bandwidth than standard Yagis.

That evening, a rare 10-meter opening to Japan appeared. Leo’s usual antenna would have heard static.

Unlike many antennas that require an antenna tuner or a balun, the Moxon generally offers a natural 50-ohm impedance, allowing for direct connection to coaxial cable.
