It’s uncommon these days to find an antenna manufacturer building yagis for 11m DXers beyond a 3 element version.
Especially outside of the United States of America.
Italian company PKW Antennas is an exception to the rule though, developing 4 and 6 element versions for 11m band DX Hunters — even a monstrous 7 element job — worth spruiking according to a number of Dx Adventure Radio Club (DA-RC) members in the know.
Priced at around 841,96 euro and providing some significant perks to boot, the MHF7e/11 is a viable option indeed for the serious 11m DXer — provided he has the space to accommodate the antenna’s 5.51m reflector and 7.12 m swing radius though.
And a tower capable of supporting the antenna’s 34 kg weight too!
According to the PKW website, a gain of 13 dBd, front / side ratio of 38 dB and front / back of 25 dB are impressive performance specs of the MHF7e/11, while a solid 13.10m boom, stainless steel alloy accessories (Pictured right) and hardware offer exceptional mechanical strength.
