Aside: I looked in EZNEC for a quick way to change the height of an
antenna
model and found no obvious signs so I just "arrowed-down" through the
"Wires" table and changed all the Z-axis numbers. With only twelve
entries,
it was not bad -- this time. Is there a hidden trick to quickly alter the
height-above-ground an EZNEC model? Yes, I could email Roy but he has
other
things to do.

In the Wires window, click the Wire tab then find Change Heigth by... in
the list that appears.

FYI MFJ is now selling 15, 10, and 6 meter Moxons. The 10M version is
$84.95. I bought one, assembled it, but haven't put it in the air yet.

MFJ is claiming 3.3 dBi gain and 30 Db front to back.

It appears to be good quality for the money but we shall see once it is
in the air.


===================================

Thank, Jim. I do think my modeled gain is a bit too rich. I doubt that I
will ever build a conventional 10 m dipole and then do a side-by-side
comparison.

Except for the #14 wire and one bamboo support, mine is all left-over parts
from other projects, which kept the cost down (along with other things, like
quality, durability and ease of assembly, hi-hi).
