12m Antennas.

The 12m band is the most overlooked of the WARC allocations. For much of the solar cycle 24.9 MHz sits nearly silent, and then — as sunspot numbers climb — it opens into a superb DX band with 10m-like signal strengths and a fraction of 10m's crowding. No contests are held here, so when the band is open it belongs entirely to the DXers.

Equipping for 12m is a bet on the openings, and a monobander pays that bet off properly. Our 12m LFA designs are compact — the wavelength keeps even multi-element beams manageable — while the closed-loop feed keeps the receive quiet enough to catch the band coming open before the cluster spots do.
