New 11mtr vertical required ?
In the market for a new 10/11mtr vertical. Thinking off the Sirio 827 / Sirio 2016 etc.. any difference between the two ? Any strengthening mods required on them ? Anything else worth considering .. Tornado 27 new ?

2016 need strengthening of L shaped mast mount. Usually bend under a wind. Otherwise is a good antenna.

I doubt there is anyone had them three at the same time, mounted at the same height to compare If not, it will be just guessing.

Re: New 11mtr vertical required ?
Hard to say.
When i test different antennas or tune them I use low power transmitter located circa 500m from antenna. Always same place, same height and power.
According to that test I can tell if one antenna is better or worst than the other.

Shallow review I would say. Similar results you can get by connecting curtain rail to radio.

I look forward to his "Curtain Rail" review......maybe he will share a youtube link?.WARLOCK wrote:Usual ch25 statement shallow shallow as it is still at least this time he has put forward a better antenna in his mind HIS CURTAIN RAIL now all we need to know is where can we buy one from B&Q may be ???
Just maybe the CR special will match this antenna with just 3 watts of input....I wait with excitement.
I see he has plenty to say when ever I get mentioned.
