Construction of the LFA loop for a 6m 3elem. antenna

Creating a single tube LFA loop for the 6m band .
Sizes according the information of Justin, G0KSC, A great designer of new antenna types.

You need to work concentrated and can't afford a mistake.
Corners have to be 90 degrees and all sizes must be accurate.
Besides the completed loop must have a flat surface shape.

Fortunetaly I still had a 6 meter long 10mm tube. 5.90 m was used for this loop.

Because it's only should be a test, I used old channel 2 Messa TV reflector and director,
extended by several centimeters to get the right sizes.

Well, put on the roof the first hour I already could hear the beacon LX0SIX.
This was long ago.  Still I heard noise of about S3-4, but this is considerabely less then
on a dipole where it is S6-7.

The antenna is 10 meters above ground and that's also the h.a.a.t.










Eerste SWR test in de tuin.

Messa bevestiging, makkelijk te bevestigen en mooi haaks.
