I used a Par Moxon for years as part of a 50 - 2304 setup in The mountains of
Tennessee. It took 13 minutes to level and crank up (fold up). It only took 9
minutes to drop and stow when motivated by an approaching Thunderstorm...
See pix at http://www.chuckmartin.com/VHFContest2003_3.htm they were taken as
Hurricane Sandy had just past. Best DX with these antennas were WA7JTM in
Arizona on 2 meters and best DX with this set up on 1296 was K2DRH on 1296 and
W5LUA on 2304.
