6 element low-noise LFA-3 third generation LFA Yagi

The antenna 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. .

Improved Performance

The 5 element 50Mhz LFA-3 provides stunning performance across the important section of the 6m band (50.00 - 50.350MHz) with excellent gain levels for its size and specifically optimised for FT8 mode. the LFA-3 is a result of many years of optimisation honing resulting in a wide-spaced Yagi with all the associated benefits of the original LFA with higher gain per foot of boom! .

Multiband, Performance-Busting Design

This antenna is made with 16mm centre elements and 13mm outer tip sections which have a 2mm wall thickness. the boom is made from 49mm square tube with a wall thickness of 2mm, a boom guy is supplied. The antenna has fully insulated elements which will ensure continuous, high performance for many years to come. Boom to mast brackets are included with thel antennas which will support 2 inch (50mm) masts. .

The antennas are constructed with the best quality materials in order that the best mechanical construction can be achieved, even a digital caliper is used (with an accuracy of .01mm) to measure the elements during production to ensure they are within 0.2mm of what they should be.
