Here are some comments from Michael (KB9VBR):

The Moxon is an 2 element Yagi style antenna that boasts of a low takeoff angle and high front/back signal to noise ratio. The 15 meter Black Widow Moxon is an excellent antenna for Field Day or other events were a lightweight, portable antenna is ideal.
