Get a post underneath that pole, don't waste that 1m down on the ground. The Thunderpole 1/2 wave has worked for me, for 3mth, gain master in a few weeks, that 9.9bd attracted me
I have the A99/FS99 top section upgrade, but couldn't get close to an swr yesterday, so my thunderpole went back up. Now I was all set for the Solorcan Imax or President Himalaya, then came across this gain master, not many 5/8th wave antennas have a 9.9db gain, so it drew me in, will be ordering a new 1 next week
I have a question. Does Sirio offer two different models of the Gainmaster? I recently found a three section and another being a four section?, If this is true, Iam guessing one Gainmaster is a 1/2 wavelength, and the four section being 5/8 wavelength???? Thanks for reading and sharing your Sirio with us!!! 🇺🇸
Hi Eric, mine is the 5/8 wave Gainmaster and had over 2 yrs and still performing well and excellent with dx reached Germany, North and South Italy, Poland from East Coast of England.
@@BravoBravo-ct7yg Thank you for your reply. After I sent you this message, I took a trip to Sirios website, at first I thought someone "Walmart" misadvertized the Gainmaster but, I guess they didn't, also until Yesterday I had no idea that both the Sirio 1/2 wave and 5/8 ths Gainmaster were offered through Walmarts website, the 1/2 wave is $158.00 dollars and the 5/8 th's wave is $186.00 bucks, maybe they are cross dock shipping those for Sirio???, Iam also curious how that antenna would perform with ground radials, being the Gainmaster has no radials, it must have a higher takeoff angle as opposed to an actual ground plane???. Anyways, thanks again for your reply, your time is greatly appreciated. 🤓✌
No you don't, you only need to guy the poke if its over 30ft, and he has 2 good wall brackets, that's ample. Why would anybody guy their antenna, 14gauge copper wire ground plains maybe, not sure about up top though.
I enjoyed this and had a little dance with some glo sticks

If your yl helps erecting your antenna, she´s a keeper 🙃
Can't get mine to work, any tips?
you do know, your meant to guy these Antennas as they're prone for snapping. It states this in the manual
