Lightweight 5-Element LFA Antenna for 2m

By PD5DJ

With increased ES propagation, this lightweight 5-element LFA antenna offers enhanced performance over the Bigwheel antenna's 5dBi gain, delivering approximately 11dBi and forward gain. Designed from G0KSC’s specifications, the 1.8m antenna was adapted for reduced weight using 6mm and 4mm rods instead of heavier tubes. 3D-printed PETG clamps ensure durability and precision, while the first tests showed excellent SWR and element coupling. Though built with a temporary Choke BalUn, the results were promising, with a Pawsey Stub BalUn planned next for further optimization.
