Overview

InnovAntennas LFA-WOS 6 Meter 7 Element Yagi

InnovAntennas LFA-WOS 6 Meter 7 Element Yagi has a particularly long boom that is designed for excellent front-to-back ratio. The maximum transmit power is 5 kW with SWR less than 1.1:1 in the range 50-50.45 MHz with average gain of 12.9 dBi. This antenna was specially designed for G3WOS, who was looking for a perfect antenna for 6m for his free standing mast. The relatively long boom provides good gain with excellent front/rear ratio, so this antenna is great for EME and "weak signal" DX. This antenna has very highly suppressed lobes in both azimuth and elevation plots and therefore is ideal for very noisy city locations. If you want to beat the noise in a mid-sized 6m antenna, this is the one for you!

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. This 7 element 50 MHz LFA2 is another exciting slant on the LFA design with both the last third of both the reflector and first director elements being bent towards the driver loop in order to enhance performance. Incredible levels of F/B have been achieved providing the ultimate in rear-end suppression.

This antenna is made with tapered elements 16mm center and 13mm outer sections. The antenna has fully insulated elements which will ensure continuous, high performance for many years to come. Boom to mast brackets are included with all antennas which accommodate 2 inch (50mm) masts. Boom is 2 inch (50mm) aluminum in the center, tapering to 40mm with a 45mm section, all with 2mm booms. A boom guy system is provided with this antenna.
Marine grade Stainless Steel Fittings
Original Stauff Insulation clamps
Mill finished boom and elements for highest levels of accuracy

Note: Much development time has gone into our antennas, not just on basic electromagnetic design, we are able to model the effect of insulators, booms and other objects to ensure the components of our antennas have least effect on performance and pattern degradation.
