- Hello,while i had both Gain-master 5/8 wave and the Gain-master 1/2 wave next to each other you can easily see how much longer the 5/8 wave is,thats why they are more expensive,i would choose the Gain-master 5/8 wave because its a little longer every little helps.Hopefully this has been helpful in choosing between the two antennas,thanks from Rotterdam....73
Georgeous cat. i had one just like him...ours was really tough so we named him 'Rocky'. Thanks for the informative and enjoyable video.
Hi,the cat is so black, also his feet are black, I hope to take Felix to the beach ⛱, for the first time in a few days, curious about his reaction, thanks 73 👍
Hi l have up a shakespeare super big stick and I got sirio gain master 5,8 both of them are very good thanks Neil7up 73
Hi,to be honest I think that the difference is minimal, don't have any experience with the Shakespeare antenna, but heard good reports 👍👍, what i like about the Gainmaster, pre set swr ,makes it a very quick and simple set up,now I am happy with my antennas,its time to start on my audio, 🙃🙃,73 from Rotterdam .😷.
How and where did you aquire a "Super big stick"??? I had one about 35 years ago, it eventually secombed to the weather and was going to buy another one, but by that time the Bigstick was no longer produced.
On the 5/8 GM, I cut down the top wire 60" and replaced it with a Wilson 5000 whip and cut 20" of each of the three top fiberglass tubes and placed them down inside the bottom to strengthen it, along with minimizing the top 60" down to a low-drag whip - it can now handle 100mph+ wind gusts atop the 110' tree.
Hi,not so sure that is suitable for my situation but thanks anyway, 73 from Rotterdam 👍
@@Bernard-John I ended up with the *same 5/8 Gain Master antenna,* but now it's much stronger.
I have installed my Sirio Gain Master antenna on my kitchen roof and without any tuning my SWR is 1 on 1 on 10m 11m and 12m this antenna is awesome but the only thing is that if you unpack the new antenna from the factory you get Fibre Optic glass powder which is all over the fibre optic segments when you handle the antenna other than that everything is awsome about the Sirio Gain Master !!! I highly recommend this antenna!👍👍👍
Hi,yes they are expensive but worth it, if you put a bamboo stick on the inside, it will stop it snapping in strong winds, I was advised, 73s from Rotterdam.
Gain-master 5/8 doing well for me so far, good dx so far and up for 14 mths now, Finnish winter can be harsh, it has done ok during winter, no damage so far, had a Amtron 99 snap back in 2003, wet snow stuck to it, then it went to -25 and the Amtron was a big thick frozen stick, came down during one night,

Thanks for your work you do on the channel.
Hi, thanks for your reply, to be honest, maybe I don't assemble the Gainmaster correctly, and that is why it broke, funny the 1/2 wave Gainmaster looks so much stronger, thanks from Rotterdam 73
I have a 5/8 gainmaster and for dx it is superb , mine sat on the ground leaning against my garage and worked all over europe .It is now up 30ft on an extendable mast. I have had to repair it a few times with fiberglass wrapping cloth this is the biggest let down but i am confident in my repairs .I like this antenna and even bought another one from Radiozing for £50 which had a small crack in the fiberglass which i repaired and keep it for a spare / portable .Against my old imax / and even older Antron it wins easy especially for dx and low swr but for build quality no.
Hi, after spending so much on an aerial only to break, very disappointed, but good for you, fiberglass cloth is a good solution 👍, but I think it's to brittle, so I went with simpler way,and the Gainmaster 5/8 wave is still up,and I use it everyday, mostly 😊. Better to repair, more fun and I learned something, thanks 73
Hi, your are right concerning this kind of antenna ( in fact Sirio Gain Master is an antenna whose name is T2LT ot ' scoubidou ' ).
I use a Thunderbolt SSD58 made by Hawkins radio, it is exactly the same but only with a wire . I bought it but many T2LTare Handmade for a very low cost ( it is only a wire ). SWR is very low et bandwidth fine !
I have removed my IMAX2000 for this antenna. Impossible to compare them but last week i made so many QSO ,then I think it proves the qualities of this antenna. For People practising portable radio I recommend T2LT with a fiber mast ( for example a 12 meters Spiderbeam ). Very easy to install and no bad surprises concerning SWR
At home the Gain master is efficient for a vertical antenna but not solid enough I think it is better to choose a Sirio 827 ( better quality ) or an IMAX 2000 if you can't use radians ( solid but with a lower efficiency ). Just a last thing, gain announced by makers for the antenna they sell are enormous lies. Everybody knows it. By the way congratulations for your radio license PA1LEG.
Cool stuff to watch, .... watching from Kentucky, The Bluegrass State my friend.
In The USA 🇺🇸 . Thanks my friend
Thanks, 73 from Rotterdam, maybe speak with you soon 😉
Gain master 5/8 est meilleure je vie dans les Alpes 👍
👍👍👍
Good information video.
OK NICE, DE VU2TKC KOLKATA INDIA.. Thanks for the informative and knowledgeable video
Hi,thanks for your comment,have a good weekend, thanks from Rotterdam 👍..
Hoi John,
Weet jij misschien de tussen maten van elk deel van een VENOM high gain 5/8 golf basis antenne.
Heb hem uit elkaar gehaald maar ben vergeten om een streep te zetten op elk deel van de pijp.
Groetjes Jan uit Rotterdam
Klinkt gewoon als het soort dingen dat ik zou doen😉, maar een goed antwoord is het Google en misschien kun je met de instructies dan de informatie zien die je nodig hebt, veel succes daarmee,🙃👍
Hello, good stuff, do you know they cost,
Good comparison, which is better, do you think,
Good question, depends on your wallet and the operating conditions 🤔 😉 73
The idea of jubilee (hose) clips on a fibreglass antenna, looks strange to me.
Hi,yes for almost 200 euros I agree, It snapped for the last time a few months ago, good receive and transmission, but the build quality is something else, thanks from Rotterdam 73
@@Bernard-John the only antennas with jubilee clips, tend to be aluminium ones - like silver rods or some of the Sirio one. I prefer screw together fibreglass sections like in the Shakespeare Super Big Stick or Antron A-99, etc.
Which one performs better on skip and gain have you tried both to a skip station
Hi,there are many variables, but I think that most people will agree 5/8 wave probably is better, there's more antenna, 73 from Rotterdam
Hi there, thinking about a HW. Do you reckon that would be ok for UK40 and 555?
Hi,I am not sure what HW is,can you explain,,,,as for the UK frequencies no idea I live in the Netherlands,,,ask FRED IN THE SHED, he is very well informed,,,good luck 👍, 73 from Rotterdam
@@Bernard-John HW - Half Wave?
@@soldierloz Hi,the longer antenna the better,,, mostly 🤔 I would recommend getting a directional aerial if you can,,,,5/8 wave aerial is also good, but a directional is better 👌,,,thanks from Rotterdam 👍
Just buy a silver rod and be done with it.
Hi,if life was that easy,,, thanks 73
@@Bernard-John life is that easy. Life only becomes hard if you complicate it. Wanting more than you need.
@@zukispur5493 Hi interesting observation, but generally I tend to agree with you, But we are never to old for a few toys, 73 from Rotterdam
@@Bernard-John I hear that. Another antenna I like is sirio D-27 half wave dipole. Brilliant. The build quality is amazing. I recommend it. Roughly £55
video might as well been.. ` the difference is a few feet` this is not the expected `comparison` video now is it. pointless
Hi,good point, but if you read the description first, then you know what you can expect, 👍thanks I will pass the comment to the appropriate department 🏬 😉,73 from Rotterdam. 😷😷
