Side shot of breakover pole..(nevermind the marine antenna, thats was for my company! Wanted yall to see

Not going to be able to test at those heights do to that where the breakover is hinged at is probably around 45 feet and swings up ...im not 100% but will measure and find out exactly! BuT in about 4 months ill have 120 feet of tower installed....before I install my beams, I will try the the...

Thank you marconi for the tip...will order some and put in place! All tips and advise on this new antenna is appreciated , especially from the ones who have dealt with it with it first hand

Breakover poll from house

Just purchased a sirio gain master from sirio rmitaly off ebay since I used paypal, look forward to trying it out and will give my 2 cents and a review from my experience ! Will have it up on a 60 foot breakover poll in a open property with 75 feet of times microwave lmr 400, should work out...

Marconi Do you still have the Gainmaster up and if so how are you liking it? Has it improved your dx talking over the imax and how is it holding up to winds

OK..so much debate has come up with other antennas that have proven there self worthy of being recognized and this is to sum it up for Best All Round antenna and taking from the other poll and narrowing it down! *Don`t do it*

Thats what I like to hear and I think that will be the perfect antenna for my friend, he likes to talk on 27 385 to 27.595 and it looks like the antenna likes the lower freqs better (mid 26)but that is my only hang up other then the power handling

As always Marconi thank you for your information and your opinion on antennas and what testing YOU have done so far in your compairing... I think what im trying to do here is find the best "All round" Ground plane..im going to be buying 2 because I have a good friend of mine that has been...

So in short term would you say that it performs better then the vector 4000 or SP500 as far as RX and Tx goes? The wattage part is my only concern but again ive never had to run more then 300 watts on SSb to do what I need it to do!! My BIGGEST thing im looking at is a antenna that has the...

I have a question for those who "OWN" a gain master antenna...what were yall seeing as far as SWR goes ?

Alot of money? Maybe...but then again i hear that enough from my wife and you should have heard her when i told her 15 yrs ago how much I was paying for a amplifier that was killing a 25k slug in a bird 43...yeah

Think im going to test out a gain master against a sp500 ! Wish i had some more reviews of the colossal 5k with real world results --- I decided im just going to run ssb mostly anyways and wait to hook up my big box when I get my beams back up again

The gain master Really looks interesting and the claims of it are very impressive especially on how broadbanded it is -- I may purchase one to test and then give to one of my fellow hobbiest in my area that needs a upgrade...I wont be running it because as soon as a switch to am and I will smoke...

Only reason I didn't put the gain master in there is because In my mind it doesn't even come close since it doesn't hold a lot of watts... I'm sure barefoot it does fantastic

So lets pretend that money wasnt the issue and you wanted the best ground plane offered ,we are talking all around best...if you have one of the antennas listed, lets hear why you picked it and what you think! Figure id stir the pot on these $$$$ slugger rods a little!

Well im not getting alot of love from this topic like i thought I would...those who have the colossal 5 k or 10k.. is it more broadbanded in keeping low swr compaired to a maco v5000?

LOL..well I wont be hitting that ground plane with my big box.. the colossal sounds and looks VERY nice and will probably be the one I toss in the air! Most ill hit that antenna with his a box with 2 3cx3000.... And thanks for your input Marconi, the merlin def peaks my interest with its design !

Looking for base stuff to help a old cb friend
