3 element 28MHz LFA2 Yagi (3.1m)
Description
A 3 element 28.0-28.6MHz LFA2 (bent parasitic element) Yagi - Second Generation LFA Yagi !
The G0KSC LFA Yagi represents a major step forward in the development of the Yagi Antenna, it provides a low-noise front-end for your radio so you hear more weak signals while at the same time maximising all round performance. Hard to beat with a direct 50 Ohm feedpoint and no matching losses and suppression of unwanted noise !! More information on the LFA Yagi can be found here.
This 3 element LFA is an excellent option if you do not have space, especially stacked !! 2 at just 7m spacing provides 16.01dBi (when placed 10m above ground)!!
NOTE: With all our HF antennas we can custom design your element taper and element size requirements in order to cater for all weather and installation requirements
The 3el 28MHz LFA @ G1OVK
"Hi Justin,
The 28MHz 3 ele LFA is up and running and is yet another fantastic aerial, thanks.
The QRM from my own house is down by 2 S-points, and the horrible noise from the solar panels in the next street, now only affects me when I point straight at them, which is to be expected.
I am hearing three times as many of the 10m beacons than I've ever heard before and can now hear weak SSB signals which used to be covered by QRM.
Thanks again
Paul
