K4OGO posted this on twitter and it got me thinking. This would be easy to build, and you could have spreaders at the top and bottom and just hang the thing from a tree. A rope off the front side to turn and aim, and you're in business. I put up a DxCommander (vertical) last summer that is just fantastic; I'm sold on verticals. Why didn't I think of this?
A few commenters suggested a Moxon instead, which would be smaller. With 16# wire, you're looking at about 5' shorter. This could easily be built with spreaders top/bottom as well (rotate the antenna below 90 degrees and hang from ends). I think I'd add strain relief for the coax, too. It's supposed to be cold as shit today, so it might be a fun project.
