Thank for the tour! new sub ! Getting back in the hobby ,from the mid 70's , Lot more to choose from know thanks CB lounge, ordered the Sirio GPE 27 5/8, Fits my need on 10 /11 meter bands, still looking for that RG58X. cheers !

@@CBLounge2112Dual mail package dropped of RG58x Serio GPE 5/8 .same tape on vertical connections, .rigged and matched, first time talking on AM DX skip land . cool beans ! Thanks again Lounge2112 cheers brotha!
Nice setup ! Im running an Anytone AT6666 paired with an Antron99 with a ground plane kit . Put a cheap little china antenna tuner inline to help move from low 26 to high 28 . Keep on radio'n .
Very nice installation. Looks like you are the only one in the surrounding area with an antenna of any kind on the roof. My friend has the same antenna for over 2 years now and it works great. In his case, he lives on a hilltop in upstate NY and it is subject to some incredible winds from all directions and it has not been affected one bit. Great design, great product.
I love the build quality of Sirio antennas. I have the 1/2 wave variant up for 10+11M operations (can also be used on 12m and 20m with the radio's internal ATU).
hallo. viele grüsse aus nord deutschland. schöne antenne hast du da. ich habe an meinem balkon geländer eine sirio boomerang 27 a. ich höre oft stationen aus amerika.
Looks very nice. And way higher than my current antenna can be.wow I also Just bought this antenna. On the ads they show black plastic section caps. There where you put the gorilla tape at each connection . Now of course I will use the same tape. But mine came without the black plastic caps. Did you got it bare? Without any caps? On other TH-cam vids ,You see and or they speak clearly about these caps . Which suppose to prevent rain/ moisture coming in. But they all use gorilla tape. Anyway , I have mine in the box ,as it arrived an hour ago And its of course after opening hours, So sended an email , where the caps are. And if they can send it to me. But I dont hear or see these black plastic section things in your video.
Glad you enjoyed the vid and found it useful. Don't use your antenna without the black plastic parts as they also provide structural strength as well. Cheers!
Nice antenna. I run a Galaxy Saturn Turbo. Silver Eagle Mic. KLV 2000 base amp. 1/4" Hard line coax with a Sirio 827 works like it should. Be safe. #12 Watkins Glen.ny wavin. 🇺🇸
......antenna mounted height is measured from the antenna base, not the tip. It might be around 40' at the tip....but it's not 40' "off/above the ground". Otherwise, thanks for the video
I saw somewhere, that his antenna is the 1/2 wave, they sold as 5/8 :( i have the same one i put it down now and going to put up a 827. People said you can cound the copper rounds (coil) and i guess its something like 5 and 9 at the 5/8 if you have more as you have, it sould be the 1/2.
Nice video, good quality. I see a lot of these antenna videos and they look like they were filmed with a potato. Think I'm going to get this antenna, rather than pay $200+ for an Imax 2000. Seems like there wouldn't be too much difference for less than half the cost. My only problem, I'm worried about interference with my neighbors. I'd only be using the standard 4 watts on CB maybe 12 on SSB. Would I need some kind of choke or balun on this antenna?
Thank you very much for noticing the quality of the vid as I try my hardest not to produce a piece of garbage! IMO, Imax are overrated plus I have always preferred aluminum over fiberglass anyway as I think the performance of the aluminum is better and gets better as the antenna weathers. Cheers and thanks for the comment!
No wonder I can't hear you! 🤦🏻♂️ - Reno Radio just got down! - - We need to talk brother, lol! - My Antron is in an HOA and up about as high! My Antron is setup as a temporary, not permanently mounted. (I take this hilltop when there is enough time ..and people to chat with.) I have a 4 section (36') mast for when I am no longer in an HOA situation. (Antenna is camouflage painted and partially in a pine tree!) If you can, put antenna up to 36ft to the base. I can donate some poles or I can loan the 36ft'er to you? I would never use my antenna so low if it were not for this HOA crap. My old station in the bay area used to be: 1. a 2 story house 2. a 5 section mast! 3. a 3/4 wave Gama fed omni [Salut model: LW150] (Total height was roughly 93ft to tip!!!!!!!) (The 3/4 wave and the top mast section folded over in high winds.) 😥 - I then placed a new Antron w/GPK on the slightly shortened mast and still got out great, naturally! At both times, I was running a Galaxy 99v & Messenger M400 box at home and was easily the dominant station for miles and miles around for a while. - As far as I know, I am the dominant station in Reno/Sparks. (There is a guy on 38LSB that is near but I'm not sure how well his setup performs in comparison to mine on AM.) I'll ask 722 what he thinks since he has been around here for a long time and may know more signal strength info.
I really have no place to guy wire a mast so that is why I have not gone any higher plus I am not sure how that gable end mount would handle a longer mast as well? Sounds like your stations have been awesome good sir!!
Excellent video, that is a cool antenna for sure. Lemmy looked cool as well. Thank you for showing this to us.

Right on Jed!!
setting mine up today and tomorrow,,,
Hope your setting up goes well!
Nice antenna. 133 👋🏻
Thank you my friend, it sure does the trick!!
this is not a ground shorted type antenna. Do you have static problems ? It could be dangerous for your equipments
I grounds that sh*ts!
i just got mines today from amazon 6/27/22 how did you adjust the tunning?
GREAT antenna congrats!! The antenna adjusts using the top whip.
Have you had any issues with wind being mounted on the gable
Not a single problem and we get a lot of heavy wind here. Cheers!
Hi
