Damn! Looks like an Astroplane
314, don't you mean the Dave Made GP looks like a Sigma4 or a New Vector 4K?

Yeah yeah..Not sure why I said Astroplane.314, don't you mean the Dave Made GP looks like a Sigma4 or a New Vector 4K?
Wow! It looks something like a three-level condo for bird nests. (LOL....LOL)There's always the Davemade bird cage for the big spender.

I also considered the SIRIO 2016 but I read somewhere there is a concern with dissimilar metal with a copper coil housing attached to the aluminum radial hub.For that kind of money for a cb antenna I would go with an inteceptor 10k or a bm technology shockwave. Unless you run a stupid amount of power a 5/8 maco ground plane will do just as well.
I used to run the maco until I got scared of it arcing out and killing my tubes. The shockwave has been up for a few years now and I'm happy with it. I would have bought an I10k but they weren't available at the time.
For the most part a 5/8 wave vertical is a 5/8 wave vertical. The extra cost over a maco is paying for the name and/or quality of materials. I think workman makes a cheaper version of the maco but I know nothing of the quality.
Just fancy looking j-pole.Damn! Looks like an Astroplane
Most anything will out perform an I-MAX 2000. (anyone tired of hearing this yet?)
Besides of course a little static compared to aluminum, Imax2000 performs very well.I am and I don't believe it.

I have one at the moment, tuned really well and transmits very nicelyI also considered the SIRIO 2016 but I read somewhere there is a concern with dissimilar metal with a copper coil housing attached to the aluminum radial hub.

I found this on an old WorldwideDX forum.Welcome to the forum Recon.
I've heard this claim before, so I looked it up on the Internet typing into my search the following, "Is copper compatible with aluminum?"
Can you tell us what is likely to happen to the Siro 2016 in this case?

Quote: "there is a problem with them which nobody on cb forums in the uk ever talks about but virtually everybody local to me has issues with and that is the hubs erode and the antennas go open circuit, they also use dissimilar metals which is a terrible idea, copper coil direct to mickeymouse aluminum hubs,
