'SWR is 1.05:1. Not bad for only one adjustment to the loop. An on air test with a local about 12 miles away showed +20 to S2 signal strength as I rotated the antenna.'

said Mark Hooper N5WEB, President of FORCE 12 Antennas in Bridgeport, Texas.

'With more time we could trim further to achieve even better results but already this is real close to model' . He went on to say.

FORCE 12 inc will be launching a full range of LFA Yagi's from HF to UHF over the coming months. Keep and eye on this site and theirs for updates and information relating to what will be released and when!
