I like this antenna very much.
At about 2.8 meters square, it is a very compact antenna and the best choice to fit in a small lot in urban areas in Japan.
The performance of the antenna is no better than a dipole antenna, I WKD 3Y0K on many bands.
The only drawbacks are the narrow bandwidth and the fact that the resonance point changes when it rains. It needs to be used in conjunction with an antenna tuner.
However, since most of my activities are FT8, I am tuned to the FT8 frequency, so this is not a problem.
One thing to note is the Mounting Mast Diameter. In Japan, masts of 49mm dia. or larger are often used. I had to change the mast clamp.
All in all, it remains a good antenna. Thanks.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your positive review of our RFD-CW5HF antenna. We are glad to hear that it is a great fit for your small lot in Japan and that you have successfully made contacts with it. We appreciate your feedback on the narrow bandwidth and resonance point changing in the rain, and we recommend using an antenna tuner to improve its performance. We will also take note of the mounting mast diameter for our future customers. Thank you for choosing our product and happy DXing!

I wanted to tell you, but I’ve been having so much fun and contacts with this antenna. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I wrote with an electric pencil on all the joints so if I never need to disassemble it, it might go back easier. Your packaging is wonderful! I don’t think it could be any better. Please don’t change that. It was perfect. Thanks again for this nice antenna. George.

The Moxon is a lesser known antenna but when well made, its performance is equal (if not better) than a two-element yagi while maintaining a smaller foot print. The Moxon from RF Dxing is very well made and even more easier to assemble and install. Being made from high-grade Aluminium, it only weighs 13 Kg while being strong enough to hold the geometry at its size.
This 20m mono band antenna gives an SWR of 1.25 or less across the 20m band and no tuning or alteration of any sort is required - simply assemble, mount, and use!
As for the on air performance, Rx shows a jump of about 5 - 10 dB increase when compared to a 20m dipole at similar height, orientation and power. On Tx, I get consistent 5 - 20 reports (regional QSOs) from the forward direction and 5-8 to 5-9 reports on the sides. The rear side rejection is also good and I get few or no replies to calls made from that side. For comparison, the dipole gives regional QSO reports of 5-9 to 5-10 even under the best conditions.
As for DX, I have worked Poland at 5-10, Italy at 5-9, and France at 5-7 (band conditions were poor) but I need a bit more mileage to comment on that. All in all, it seems to be doing what it is designed for - a great beam indeed!
