A High Gain 70MHz LFA Yagi optimised for urban environments and reduction of inband noise, including other stations!
The antenna is a scaled and re-optimised version of the 50MHz LFA WOS originally designed for G3WOS
The G0KSC LFA Yagi is 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. If you suffer with noise or are in a city location, this is the antenna for you. This 7 element 70Mhz LFA provides stunning performance across the whole 4m band (69.900 - 70.500MHz). Hard to beat with a direct 50 Ohm feed-point and no matching losses!!
This is an excellent stacker requiring just 4.4m spacing. See details below.
One of out customers in Canada sent this comparison video switching between his conventionally optimised 7el 50MHz Yagi and our 7el WOS which were at the same height but separate towers.
