Stressed Moxon Antenna
The SM-50 is a directional 6M antenna occupying approximately 50% of the space of a 2 element Yagi, yet having similar gain and better F/B. The stressed design allows the antenna to be light weight yet strong. Once the matchbox and reflector wire are attached (Phillips screw- driver) the antenna tunes and mounts without tools. In addition, it can be broken down and reassembled in under a minute, making it ideal for portable/rover use.
