New Italy's Collinear Antenna for 27 mhz 10,40 meter lenght

Hey sp5it, do you mean that guying it with non conductive rope might affect its overall performance,like detrimentally speaking?

 

[sp5it]

Non conductive rope does no harm. I want to see plots from Eznec, because you can bring any piece of metal down to 50 Ohm

Report for you. Eham style.

These look to be very well built. Watching the assembly video looks like stainless hardware and locking nuts are used. CNC machined parts from solid stock.
No shipping options for the US when you put an item in the cart at manufactures web site.

197 euros = $226 approx.

Found this:

Sirio Antenne history of the company dates back to the 70s of the last century. Its founder is Giuseppe Grazioli. Initially, the product range included Sirio-class antennas for radio communications directed to the German and Italian. For nearly 40 years the company has won the trust of customers from all over the world and a powerful experience that paid off a wide range of high quality equipment.

Wowza ...... 35.6 feet long.
Price U.S. ??

Wont last long here in the midwest.

I WOULD try one except for two reasons. I just put the 2008 up last year, AND, I live in the U.P. of Michigan.

I just wanted to see if anyone had any real world results with this design.
It's been a couple months and have not heard anything.

I think the shipping would prohibitive. I didn't see any options for US shipping as I stated in an earlier post.
It does seem like it's well built though, but like you you say, we haven't seen any in action.

There's this, but not speaking Italiano...

I could be wrong, but the antenna in Smokinone's video does not look like it does in the G-Max Manual. The coil is at the feed point and the Manual shows the co-phase coil near the middle of the radiator.

Could there be two versions with both called the G-Max?

I am interested in the co- phase antenna, would like to see some results with an antenna that long.
Would like to see the pattern this thing displays.
Good Morning Eddie.

Looks like the FE10V is the 5/8 omni and the G-MAX is the co-linear 5/8.

Out here in FL. a antenna that loung the tip may keep you up at night tapping on your windows

Here in the midwest too in the winter during high wind season...

I'd be interested in trying one out. No problem guying it.
A fellow about 45 miles from me in Indiana made a collinear antenna and had a hell of a signal.
This Italy antenna looks easier to put up.

Jeff I also find several G-Max vs. whatever antenna on youTube, but they are all in Italian and I find it hard to get any good info even from the images.

Best I could do is try and model the G-Max collinear and see if it produces a similar far field image like the G-Max... which I think I've also seen in some video that shows 6 <> dbi gain at a very low angle at or less than 8* degrees.

Anybody willing to try and help me get some good dimensions for this monster?

I will need length and diameter for the wires so I can consider another's ideas for the dimensions so I can compare to my measurements.

EDIT: this is short and shows the pattern over Real Earth that I mentioned above.
