Great Antenna Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Very well made, for a ham antenna. High quality materials and performance.

Be sure to order the correct frequency band version. The 155 MHz version will not work as well in the ham band. Get the 140 MHz version.

A Waste Of Antenna Time Owned: N.A.
I have a friend who bought one of these antennas, to replace a 3 element Yagi. I don't know WTF Sirio was thinking when they made this antenna, but the Gain Peak is way high in frequency, from 155 to 160 mhz.
Down in the 2 meter band, gain is only about 8.5 db.
So, you get to have a 6 element antenna with no more gain than a 3 element beam, and you get poor FB Ratio included, at no extra charge :(
Then, to add insult to injury, these antennas are expensive.
They are very well made, I will say that.
My friend is very disappointed with this antenna.
His 3 element Cush Craft performs just as well, and costs less then half of what this antenna does.

SWEET ANTENNA! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Just got mine yesterday and assembled it today. It took me about 1 hr to put it together (taking my sweet time) and the beam was up right after that. I assembled it and carried up the roof by myself and mounted on the mast. Run a few test and I am completely satified. Will soon get another one to stack.
Great job Sirio
