I’m an Indian customer. I purchased this antenna (RFD-YG5FM) from rfdxing.com . Delivery was hassle-free, and it arrived 14 days after placing the order. Installing the elements onto the antenna boom was straightforward thanks to the clear markings, and a CPVC pipe worked well as the boom. After mounting the antenna in northern Tamil Nadu and pointing it towards the southeast, I used it for around 14 days. During this time, I noticed weak Sri Lankan FM stations appearing more frequently than they did with an ordinary diy vertical fm dipole. It also receives several distant FM stations from Tamil Nadu that were previously much weaker or even completely inaudible. As with any FM DX setup, results vary depending on propagation conditions, but the directional gain of the antenna makes a noticeable difference when chasing weak signals. Overall, I’m satisfied with the performance and would recommend it to anyone interested in long-distance FM reception. Thanks to the entire rfdxing.com team for the excellent product and support!
I like this antenna very much.
At about 2.8 meters square, it is a very compact antenna and the best choice to fit in a small lot in urban areas in Japan.
The performance of the antenna is no better than a dipole antenna, I WKD 3Y0K on many bands.
The only drawbacks are the narrow bandwidth and the fact that the resonance point changes when it rains. It needs to be used in conjunction with an antenna tuner.
However, since most of my activities are FT8, I am tuned to the FT8 frequency, so this is not a problem.
One thing to note is the Mounting Mast Diameter. In Japan, masts of 49mm dia. or larger are often used. I had to change the mast clamp.
All in all, it remains a good antenna. Thanks.

I wanted to tell you, but I’ve been having so much fun and contacts with this antenna. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I wrote with an electric pencil on all the joints so if I never need to disassemble it, it might go back easier. Your packaging is wonderful! I don’t think it could be any better. Please don’t change that. It was perfect. Thanks again for this nice antenna. George.
