Bencher Skyhawk Yagi antennas are the choice of experienced DX'ers, especially if your interest is in HF DX'ing and HF contesting. The Bencher Skyhawks provide the highest payback in performance and operating pleasure compared to any other single component in your station. These well-designed, single-tower systems offer outstanding performance without the headaches of maintaining more substantial antenna farms. Bencher Skyhawk antennas reflect the latest computer-optimized, trap-free design for maximum bandwidth and are built from the finest materials, including all stainless steel hardware. Have you ever had to replace a rotor in February? Skyhawk antennas offer minimal windage for their size and are torque-balanced to reduce wear and tear on your rotor. Assembly is easy, as tower top adjustments have been eliminated and the elements are truly locked in place. So, what are you waiting for? Get a Bencher Skyhawk Yagi atop your tower, hook up your coax, and start working DX!
