After doing some nice QSO’s with my 6el Yagi. Wich is actually a holiday style Yagi, Easy to store and take apart. So I thought it was time for a new more permanent solution. After looking around I went for a 7 El LFA G0KSC Yagi from InnoAntennas.

A Very Low Noise Yagi for serious DX and EME applications 
The G0KSC LFA (Loop Fed Array) Yagi has quickly become ‘the one to have’  if you are looking for serious weak signal work on the bottom of the 2m band. The LFA Yagi has been specifically designed to ensure the lowest levels of unwanted noise are received. The compliment of a tight, highly suppressed pattern and closed loop fed system ensure everything from rain static to man-made noise are heavily reduced. The LFA loop along with the great pattern helps to reduce noise and ensure the very best user experience with the weakest signals being heard not lost in noise. Designed with the very latest modelling software packages costing 10’s of thousands of pounds, not 30 year old software costing around $100.00 !! Accuracy in model and real-world performance assured. The LFA is especially effective for EME where very low noise antennas are required and many hours development have been spent ensuring the highest levels of performance have been achieved in an antenna that is not affected by wet weather conditions. As a single, double and 4 stack system, the LFA Yagi is the one to have.

After the package arrived i started building. I didn’t tqke much pictures.

Next step is to get it in the mast with the rotor. This is for Q1 2025. Updates wil follow.
