    New Sirio Vector 4000 on the Tower.

    Its been over two months in the top of the pine with no issues! Had several intense t-storms with straight line winds and all is good. Now the bad news (sort of) is I'm moving to Huntsville in a month and will have to get my tree guy to come back and take down the vector. Not way I'm leaving...

    New Sirio Vector 4000 on the Tower.

    Yes it will. Hopefully it's flexible enough to sway and not snap! Fingers crossed. The silver lining is that the antenna was given to me so I'm only out the tree climbing cost.

    ASTROPLANE best vertical antenna ever?

    The A/P does pretty good for 25ft. My main Maco 5/8 gp received some major damage from hurricane ZETA when it passed over n ga some weeks back. I can still talk on it and the swrs are still low but the rx/tx is not as good. The A/P hold it's own with the damaged Maco. It's an original A/P from...
