Update Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I just finished a review but did some research and this antenna seems to be a clone of the Maco M104C 4 Element Beam. Also if you know of heavy winds coming your way, I highly suggest that you lower it and protect it from any strong winds, even though its very good performer it does not do well with gale+ storm winds. One suggestion is to reinforce the elements from inside by putting wood dowels in the joints.

Very good! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Awesome, exceeded expectations entirely, less noice than my old 3 element Quad..
Have had very good reports, good siderejections, no problems with SWR when raining.
Very easy to put together, good quality on mtrl.
This antenna is also easy to retune for 12m.
Have used it on 12m with antennatuner, with good result!

Fantastic Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Updated review from me as I've now had the Sirio up 1 year.

What can I say? Awesome, exceeded expectations entirely - first rise of the new sunspot cycle and it's given me so much DX from the UK, especially down to S.America. Last 2 weekends (March) I've worked KH6 Hawaii on the Long Path with the SFI hovering just above 100. VP8 said I was 20dB over S9 in a QSO at dusk yesterday.

Antenna flaps about a bit in the wind but exposed location here and it's still in good shape 1 year on.

Very satisfactory Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Recently purchased one of these replacing a Sirio 827 5/8th vertical, very impressed, easy to readjust to 28mhz, 35 dxcc worked on 10m so far in 2011
