SIRIO SY27-4 reviews ?

[KD0TLI]

This is an attractive antenna for the price (about $150 + shipping).
Anyone have experience with them ?

SIRIO SY27-4     Its a 10 meter beam.

No, it's an 11meter beam for 27Mhz.

*My recommendation is to buy a 10m antenna designed for ham use from one of the reputable American manufacturers e.g. MFJ, Cushcraft, M2, etc.   Good luck trying to get service from this Italian company; and your warranty is void with the first cut you make to modify it.  *my opinion.  shrug*

If you want to use it on 10m you will have to shorten all the elements and retune it.  There is a copy of a factory letter with suggested formula dimensions (but no guarantee) on the internet.

SIRIO SY27-4     Its a 10 meter beam.

There are hundreds of Hams using the 4 element Sirio "CB Beam" on 10 Meters, with great results!
The 4 element Sirio "CB Beam" was designed for the middle of the 11 meter band. (CB Channel 20)
That is 27.205 mhz
You simply take 27.205 and divide it into 28.5, and you will get a number like .97 percent.
Then, take that ratio, and multiply all spacings and element lengths by it, to get the new dimensions for the 10 meter band.

If you are going to use the antenna for a small portion of the 10 meter  band it will work, but a better choice would be an A99
if you want to use a vertical antenna, its way more broad banded and can be used on 10-11 -12 -15 - and 17m with the antenna
tuner used in most HF radios with good results an cost 2/3 the cost and has about the same wind load...........KB6HRT
