The Moxon antenna is a popular directional 2 element beam antenna that takes up less space (75%) than a standard yagi.
Our Field Day is coming up, so we decided to build one for the 6 meter band and demonstrate the fun that can be had building and experimenting with antennas!

With great power comes great ability to troll and create interference. It seems always too easy for this to be a problem as it is to be helpful.

To start a contact, the best way is to call "CQ". A CQ is a general call to get a random contact.
Before calling CQ, listen to find a clear frequency. If the frequency seems clear, ask if the frequency is in use. If nobody replies, you’re clear to call. Keep your CQ very short. If no one answers, call again. If you call CQ three or four times and don’t get a response, try another frequency.
