#Gainmaster #Sirio #CBradio
The Gainmaster in my location works exceptionally well compared to all the other homebase antennas I have tried out,
The next best antenna I have used is the IMax 2000 but it is still too noisy with about a signal 3 to 4 on the incoming signal.
I compared both the IMax and Gainmaster over a three month period and the Gainmaster out performed the IMax 2000 by at least 1 S point over land contacts and the IMax was nowhere near as good as the Gainmaster on the skip contacts, As for the other 5/8th waves I tried like the Sirio 2016 and Sirio 827 the Venom Silver Rod and the Starduster they were all good antennas but just too noisy on the incoming signal, the Venom being the worst offender with an incoming signal of S8
These were my observations for my location so I cannot speak for anyone else who has used these antennas. trying different antennas the Gainmaster definitely impressed me on both land contacts and it was most impressive on the skip.
In all my time on the radio the Gainmaster has impressed me more than any other antenna.
The winner for my location is the Sirio Gainmaster 5/8th wave, other stations may have had better results than me with the other antennas I have mentioned here in their location, we have to remember what works for some may not work for others.
