The DK7ZB-Dualband-Moxon-Beam for 10 m and 6 m
One feedpoint with 50 Ohm for both bands! This Minibeam has for 28 MHz 2/3 of the dimensions of a fullsize-beam and is an open-sleeve-fed 2-El.-Yagi for 50 MHz Gain 10 m = 4,0 dBd F/B = 30 dB Gain 6 m = 4,3 dBd F/B = 11 dB

The Dualband-Beam built by Aleks, S54S
He has bent the corners, very good solution if you can handle this method! |
The feeding system of the Moxon by Aleks, S54S
Aleks has just used the dimensions given on this page, no further adjustments were needed. Mni tnx for the informations, Aleks! |

For the connections of the bent ends I use Cu-fittings. The lengths in the upper table mean the distance from the center of the tubes to the other end. Pay attention that the middle parts 2, 4, 7, 9 must be longer and can be shifted in the 16-mm-tubes for tuning! |
