Sirio SY27-4 Beam Install

Finally got it up in the air, temporarily on a 16 ft pole. I used the dimensions posted earlier in the thread, but didn't cut. Instead of screws on the element ends, I slit the ends and pushed the extra length inside and secured with hose clamps. I stood the beam up on its reflector and the swr was perfect. Put it in the air and it was still perfect. Just turning it by hand for now, got England dialed in. It is amazing how much the noise floor is reduced. I normally have s5 to s7 on the vertical, the horizontal beam is 0 to s1. Now I can hear the UK operators that were buried in the noise.
