In this video I show how I made this antenna from parts you can easily order on Amazon!
A Moxon antenna, a compact, two-element Yagi, typically achieves a gain of around 5.5 to 9.7 dBi (decibels relative to an isotropic antenna). It’s known for its high front-to-back ratio and a wide forward lobe, making it a good choice for directional communication.
The Moxon antenna or Moxon rectangle is a simple and mechanically rugged two-element parasitic array, single-frequency antenna.[1] It takes its name from the amateur radio operator and antenna handbook author Les Moxon

In this video I test the Vatrer 100ah lithium battery. I test to see if it can run power tools from an inverter and then load test it to see if it has the capacity that’s stated.
Lithium batteries are essential for disaster preparedness and emergency power because they can provide reliable, efficient, and sustainable backup power for various devices and applications that augment disaster
preparedness.

I was bored one day and decided to design a enclosure for my 4:1 matching unit. I tested it on a POTA but the band wasn’t very good that day but my reports back were really good, Make sure to like an subscribe, my plan is to torture test this setup on FT8 to see if there is too much heat build up in the enclosure, hopefully not. I took the antenna on a camping trip and the scenery is awesome!

In this video I show how to build our Kronos multiband vertical antenna, think the Poseidon on steroids and the tools needed for the build. Sorry it’s long but I didn’t want to leave anything out! If you don’t care about the tools go to about 13 minutes to start the build.
