EAntenna 144LFA5 5-Element 2m Yagi
Antennas · Owned — still in the box, not yet assembled
Monoband 2 m weak-signal beam — 5 elements, 144–146 MHz, 11.1 dBi, 19 dB front-to-back on a 5.97 ft boom. The LFA in the name is the interesting part: Loop Fed Array. The driven element is a full-wavelength rectangular loop whose long sides run parallel to the boom and are inversely phased, which knocks down the sidelobes and lifts the front-to-back ratio. It presents 50 Ω on its own, so there is no gamma match or hairpin to tune.
Bought 2025-09-08 and still sealed in its carton. It has never been assembled and has never been on the air, so there is no photo of the antenna itself here yet — the house rule is that the primary shot shows the model label on the hardware, not the box.
Distinct from the EAntenna EA642ZB7, which is a 7-element 6m/4m/2m triband. The two were recorded as one item until August 2026; this entry exists because that got untangled.
