    Constructing a Siro D-27 BASE ANTENNA Copy Cat

    Thanks Marconi. I will check and see if Siro style is tapered to the same dimensions as this Maco Driven element with the Gamma Match. Or would you suggest going with the Maco Dimensions of their driven Element? Either way will try it. Best regards again..............:thumbup1:
