'Hi Justin

During the recent EME (7P8EME) expedition to 7PA (Ramabanta in Leshoto), I have used one of your LFA antennas build by myself. I'm happy to report that this antenna preformed very well under somewhat compromising conditions. Not having any ground gain and much antenna height we manage to make 5 EME contacts. Elevation was made possible by a12 inch motorised gate actuator. The antenna was mounted on a 6meter ALU mast mounted to the back of my vehicle and was able to rotate 360 deg by hand.

 

Many thanks for making your designs available to the amateur fraternity, it sure helps being able to build your own antennas having a limited budget in life.

 

Keep-up the good work.

 

Regards

Pieter

Professionally built G0KSC Antennas by G0KSC at InnovAntennas Limited

 

Some hams do their research and decide early on; only the best will do.  This was the case for CT2GUR when he was selecting his next array for 2m and 70cms EME. Having not been 100% happy in the past for a number of reasons, he chose the LFA by G0KSC for this next project. Looking at the array below, it is easy to see how many hours he dedicated to his project!

I have been in constant communication with Paulo throughout this project and can confirm he has achieved software model replication in all aspects, including impedance curves. Also he has had results that surpass what he expected possible including hearing remote signals (beacons) much louder than ever before.

 

DF4UE decided on the easy option when selecting a G0KSC dual-bander and purchased from InnovAntennas. I had to publish this great photo of the happy customer after the installation of his new antenna.

PA2M built an 11el 4M LFA Yagi ready for the provision of the 4m band in Holland and having installed the antenna on the tower had these words to say:

 

'Hi Justin,

Here some picture of my 11 el LFA yagi. Sri had to wait for a sunny day .

It works great in for RX only here in PA  :-(, but I hope we are able to TX soon. I'm ready for it. Thanks again for the support and the great design. I sure will built some more LFA yagi's in for some other bands.

Finally we take a look at the installation of JA2DDN who built and installed a fine example of the G0KSC 6m long 6el LFA for 50MHz. Here is what he had to say:

 

'Hi Johnson

Japan was a typhoon season, so it was delayed to give new ANT.

Everything is good.

These hams can all now enjoy the very best of antenna performance available today. How about you?
