The Jungle-Job appears to be a horizontal antenna which would make it a
cloud warmer at that height. Are you sure this is modeled correctly?  You
probably would be better off using two verticals, one could be parasitic.

Hi,

I want to build a portable antenna for 20m. This antenna will be installed
temporarily at a low height, around 3m above ground (10?).
I?ve modeled two antennas in MMana-GAL and compared their gain : one
Moxon, one
Jungle-Job (G4ZU).
The Jungle Job is a clear winner, showing almost no degradation in its gain
diagram from a « high location » (above 1/2 lambda).
On another hand, the Moxon shows a drop of 3dB in max gain, and the max
gain is
at 60° elevation, versus 22° for the Jungle-Job.
At 10°, the Jungle Job still has 7,4dBi gain, while the Moxon shows a -2,3dBi
loss?

The diagrams are on my blog.
Don?t worry about the article in french, it does not contain more details
than
the diagrams.
