'Hi Justin
During the recent EME (7P8EME) expedition to 7PA (Ramabanta in Leshoto), I have used one of your LFA antennas build by myself. I'm happy to report that this antenna preformed very well under somewhat compromising conditions. Not having any ground gain and much antenna height we manage to make 5 EME contacts. Elevation was made possible by a12 inch motorised gate actuator. The antenna was mounted on a 6meter ALU mast mounted to the back of my vehicle and was able to rotate 360 deg by hand.
Many thanks for making your designs available to the amateur fraternity, it sure helps being able to build your own antennas having a limited budget in life.
Keep-up the good work.
Regards
Pieter
