Here it is.
A brand new 6 element LFA yagi with bended reflector (for beter F/B ratio and swr).
Ordered at Innovantennas in the UK. Price/ goal was this time better than Optibeam in my case.
The antenna will disappear during winter times, so no heavy duty stuff needed...
Just above the naked Steppir yagi antenna. The fiber elements must be (re)painted because of solar light influences. After all that years, the power of the sun has become very clear on the fibers.
Back to six meter : VUCC award achieved (with the Steppir).
But I had troubles with real DX and I couldn't wipe out neighbour stations (the Steppir had poor front to back ratio on 6 meters).
This yagi is a first step in improving my 50Mhz station.
I will evaluate if it is worth placing a second stacked yagi.
Just worked 6W, Senegal. It seems that DXCC on 6 meters is possible without EME.
But you really need to be there during small openings. It's another way of playing with the waves.
