The home brew 4.4m long 5 element Loop Fed Array (LFA) Yagi designed by Justin Johnson G0KSC installed on 1st November 2010. The main advantage of this antenna is a huge reduction of locally generated noise (hash).
Building the antenna was fairly straight forward and attention to detail along with patiance is essential to max out on permormance.
