![]() ![]() Second image shows the results from the double biquad/Moxon combo. ![]() I was getting occasional service using those. I did a baseline comparison with generic 4dBi flat omni antennas, shown in the first image. Next are the AT!GSTATUS? results from my modem. The Moxon is stuck on a piece of carboard for now ha. The next picture is of both antennas hanging in the attic. The first image is the "jig" that I built to bend the wire. I can post some better pictures later if there's interest. So much easier to build.īelow are some pictures of the antenna setup. You can enter the wire diameter into that calculator so I used a much smaller 14AWG wire. I plugged 700MHz into the Moxon calculator (link below) which resulted in a much smaller antenna so I built one of those too. I just used whatever scrap metal I had laying around for the reflector and attached an N-type connecter to it.Īfter I built the double biquad, I finally ran across the post on here talking about another DIY antenna, DogTho's post on the Moxon antenna. ![]() I plowed ahead anyways and built the 24" wide element with 6AWG bare copper wire. Turns out, that low of a frequency requires a fairly large antenna (at least for the calculator's optimization). B12 seemed to be the most consistent so I stuck with that and plugged 700MHz into the double biquad calculator. Using CellMapper, I knew I was mainly getting B12 and B25. ![]() I used the websites below to design and build my first antenna, the double biquad. I searched for a while and never couldn't find the specific post/type of antenna, but that's when I ran across several sites mentioning biquad/double biquad antennas so I figured I would try one of those. This started because I had some free time over the holidays and remembered someone on here experimenting with DIY antennas. Would love to hear any comments or suggestions if you have any. Hi all, just wanted to share my DIY double biquad and Moxon antennas that I've been experimenting with. ![]()
