I watched that video and a couple of others very similar not long ago. Thought about building one, or one similar, just to see how well it works. Very simple indeed.
I work a lot of 6 meters. I've always enjoyed the "magic band".
The beam that had a bent element is a M2 6M5XHP five element. It's not the only m2 that I have up at the moment, but it is the one that gets the most use. And yes, they really are good antennas. I have really enjoyed mine.
Take care...
I don't review anything. A proper review would consist of far more than a "it is a good antenna....it works great....it made it through severe weather a week ago".
However, these statements are true in my experience thus far. I've not owned the antenna very long. But, thus far, I am pleased...
You didn't read very well. I just purchased my Sirio 2016 a month or so ago. I guess it's a pretty rock solid 2023 model. So far anyway.
Look....I get amused by this type of thing. If you don't like Sirio. Don't buy one. If you want one, buy one. If you want to try one, but let other peoples...

Old thread......
But I just purchased and put up a Sirio 2016 about three weeks ago. Wonderful antenna. Very good receive and transmit signal. Had previously had A99s and IMAX 2000s. The Sirio is a better antenna from my experience thus far. Very good local, and VERY good results SSB DX.
I guess I'm very lucky to live where I do. Talk to anywhere from 4-6 local fellas every evening on channel 30 here. Some times more join in. There are two other channels where another couple of groups like to meet and talk regularly. I always hear that CB is dead......far from it. Just depends...
