I currenctly have it, I have done some DXing, but Localy I am not impressed, I only have it like 7m from the ground, but quite disapointed what i get in. I might try a Sirio 827 or MACO V58, if I had the money I would try the 5/8 antenna from Zero-Five COLOSSAL 10K, but its costly, and I dont see any resellers in EU.

Remember, line of sight for local...21' might getcha 7mile coverage..Height is might for Local, closer to ground for DXn because of take-off angle to atmosphere..

The 5/8 has 9 turns on the top coil and only 5 on the bottom coil.

Really, they cheated me also :( cause i bought mine from KPO Nederlands), and I already complained about the antenna was not as good as I had expected. They told me to send it back, but I would cost me more, but if we can prove its the wrong antenna, maybe I should try to get to them again. Cause mine is the same as in this video. I bought it as a 5/8 and the package said 5/8, but mine clearly have more than 9 and 5 turns on the coil. Its the same as in this Video. And One time i actually tested without put the Radials on, and nothing changed at all - SWR the same with or without radials, I dont know about RX/TX cause did not really test that. - I plan to get a Sirio 527 before the weeekend. So lets see.

I bought one last month the plastic coil former was broken so sent it back. Looks a weak point.

Well I hate to break it to you this late in the game, but evidently Sirio was running low on the 5/8 so they sent you the half wave (which doesn't care if you put radios on it or not) and the reason I know that it's the half wave not the 5/8 is because of the coil matching section that you showed. On my half wave there are 14 turns on top and 12 turns on the bottom - not so on the 5/8 wave, so I guess Sirio doesn't really care which bin they draw from - if they're running low on 5/8 apparently they'll just send out a half wave because they look almost the same LOL

Fairly decent made antenna but a year later after owning one of these they are not at all waterproof or resistant whatsoever and very prone to SEVERE SWR fluctuation, with ANY RAIN OR precipitation. Just a heads up, antennas need to be made to last longer than one year without having serious waterproofing issues

Try installing it properly. It's one of the best 11 metre DX antennas on the market.

il aurais pu donner au strict minimum la longueur de l'antenne et des radians heureusement la vidéo ne dure que 2 minutes conclusion vidéo inutile .
