Sirio gain master

Post by Trotter70 »

Hi guys I've been thinking about getting a gain master for 11 metres dx but have noticed there is two types, half wave and 5/8 wave,
what is the difference and which would be the best for 11 metres?, there is about £20-£30 difference.
Any help appreciated.

I also recommend the 5/8 wave. I've got one in my backyard about 4 or 5 feet off the ground and have talked plenty of DX with it.
