You'll find that if you want to move the array\nfor portable work, it will be easier to set up and take down.\n\n2.  Although I'm no expert, I wouldn't think you'd even need the same\nlength feedline, although it couldn't hurt.\n\n3.  LB gives the dimensions in inches, but try converting them to\nmillimeters.  Just multiply by 25.4 millimeters to the inch.  I'd round\nto the nearest 1/2 mm and cut as close as possible.  Then, that \".49\ninches\" dimension becomes 12.5 mm.  \n\n4.  You could always use duct tape... they use it on the shuttle and\nISS!\n\n\nBTW, the 70cm version calls for #12 AWG wire, not #14.  \n\n\n73 de N8AU, Jim in Raymore, MO\n \nLight travels faster than sound...  This is why some people appear\nbright until you hear them speak.\n\n\nDate: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 07:08:16 -0700 (PDT)\nFrom: Scott Wilson <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb]  ARRL dual moxon turnstyle project questions\nTo: [email protected]\nMessage-ID: <[email protected]>\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n\nI'm working on building the ARRL dual moxon antennas, but the article\nisn't very detailed where I'd like it to be and a little over detailed\nin\nsome places I wish it weren't.\n\nIf you want to look, this is the URL\n(http://www.arrl.org/members-only/tis/info/pdf/0108038.pdf)\n\n1. What are acceptable ways to terminate the paralled 75 ohm matching\nsections? I'm thinking now I'll just terminate them to a couple of ring\nterminals attached to the mast rather than terminating each one with a\nbnc\nand teeing them.\n\n2. How do I feed the 70cm and 2m with the same feedline? should I just\ntee\na 50 ohm line to two equal length 50 ohm sections?\n\n3. This is more of a comment... I'm wagering the uhf version doesn't\nwork\nat all... measurements are given to the hundreth of an inch - and then\nyou\nsolder a big ring lug to the end of it!\n\n4. Are there any other good techniques for setting the distance between\nthe reflector and driver besides heat shrink?\n\nThe 70cm antenna is using #14 galvanized wire, and I can't think of\nanything small enough to hold them in place well. I found that the 3/16\nrod for the 2m moxon will work great with 1/4\" nylon tubing.\n\nThanks for any feedback - I'll probably have more questions.. I'm\nsitting\nhere with a half-made 70cm turnstyle, and am about to start on the 2m\nversion.\n\nWhew - I'm beginning to think that a $1000 investment in rotators and\nantennae isn't such a bad idea after all!\n\nScott Wilson\nNW2S\n\n\n",
