Thank you, Shailedra, for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you're fully satisfied with the RFD-YG5FM antenna and appreciate your kind words about its quality and performance. We look forward to serving you again.
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!
Hi tn_dxer, thank you for sharing your detailed experience! We're thrilled to hear that the RFD-YG5FM antenna has enhanced your FM reception and that you found the installation straightforward. Your feedback on the signal improvements and propagation is very encouraging. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to supporting your DXing adventures in the future!
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.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your positive review of our RFD-CW5HF antenna. We are glad to hear that it is a great fit for your small lot in Japan and that you have successfully made contacts with it. We appreciate your feedback on the narrow bandwidth and resonance point changing in the rain, and we recommend using an antenna tuner to improve its performance. We will also take note of the mounting mast diameter for our future customers. Thank you for choosing our product and happy DXing!
