Of Horses and Hams
One example of how amateur radio provides safety and service to the pubic providing otherwise impossible communications using the “Magic Band.”
LFA Yagi
History, simulations and real testing of the innovative Loop Fed Array Yagi-Uda antenna design.
Assemble the 6m LFA Yagi
This final installment about the 6m LFA Yagi Antenna shows the technique to hold copper pipes to the boom using home center PVC plumbing materials.
Cutting Copper for 6m LFA Yagi
Here is a step by step photo album showing how I prepared home center copper pipe for use in a three element Loop-Fed-Array Yagi-Uda antenna (aka LFA Yagi Antenna).
Copper 6m Coplanar LFA Yagi-Uda
The Coplanar Loop Fed Array (LFA) Yagi-Uda design from G0KSC provides an excellent design foundation for an all copper version of a 3 element 6m balunless beam with superior front to back performance. Shown are comparisons between model simulations and prototype measurements.
Coplanar Loop Fed Array LFA Yagi-Uda Antenna
The clever application of the folded dipole loop, computer science iteration techniques and NEC simulation to Yagi-Uda design results in a panoply of practical planar Loop Fed Array, LFA Yagi antenna recipes.
