Moxon antenna simulation with 4nec2

In ac6la's website, I found a simple program to generate a moxon antenna model.

This program also exports the calculated dimension into a .nec file, very useful for our 4nec2 simulations.

Here is the moxon antenna's features:

antenna moxon per pmr446 moxon antenna gain for pmr446

VSWR moxon antenna for pmr446 antenna's impedance for moxon pmr446

vertical radiation pattern for moxon antenna pmr446 horizontal radiation pattern for moxon antenna pmr446

tridimensional radiation pattern for moxon antenna pmr446 tridimensional radiation pattern for moxon antenna pmr446

Not bad, isn't it? Being a very little and simple to homebrew antenna, it gives its 6 dB in a 140 degrees (@ -3 dB) and, that's more interesting, a wonderful front to back ratio (near -44 dB), very nice when playing at fox hunt ;-).

It is not worth trying to optimize this very good antenna, so here is the antenna Moxon's .nec file, directly from MoxGen program.
