4S7AB gets a 7el 50MHz LFA-WOS antenna

*G8BCG* who uses G0KSC designed OP-DES Yagis on 6m received a QSL card
today from *4S7AB* who recently received a 7el 50MHz LFA-WOS courtesy of
the The UK Six Metre Group, Kerry Rochester, G8VR and InnovAntennas.

Here is a photo of the QSL card from G8BCG,

Here is a photo of the antenna and below is a mail from Kamal, 4S7AB with
his comments:

Even though this thanking email comes weeks after I received the 7el LFA2
WOS antenna as a gift from G8VR Kerry, I think this the suitable day to
express my gratitude. The antenna arrived few days before the Easter Sunday
where my country was attacked by religious extremists which killed nearly
300 people. We were shocked for many weeks afterwards and hence the delay
for this email.

Why today ? In my 25+ Ham life, I have never seen a 6m opening like today
to Japan. It lasted nearly 4 hours with 5/9 signals and I worked nearly 200
QSOs on FT8 and CW. The gifted LFA antenna helped me immensely in pulling
the weaker signals from the noise and also to keep the phase going. This
antenna performs very well over my 4 element SteppIR with 2 el passive 6m
kit.

Even though the Dx stations are not totally financially incapable, this
kind of motivations with expert knowledge transfer is very helpful in
keeping the momentum of our hobby. Sometimes a Dx station can go into a
'shell' thinking that the available equipment is all that is needed.

The actual case is different. In my case, G8VR Kerry made a good choice in
selecting the antenna for me and getting it installed properly. This
season, I have already made many JA's happy with ATNO contacts. Europe's
share is yet to come.

My sincere thanks to UKSMG for paying for the shipping, Kerry G8VR for
purchasing the antenna and to G0KSC Justin for making such wonderful
antennas.
