i picked up an old sirio 827 to make a 5/8 for 6mtrs like the dominator,
my friend is doing the same with the junky sirio tornado,
sirio already make a tornado for 6mtrs but not the 827 version which is a shame as unlike the tornado the 827 will be virtually immune to the ravages of wind as a 6mtr antenna at around 13 feet long,
i have done it before with regular gp27's and the 827 is easier to redo for 50mhz ( if you can get it in pieces ),
it will be a referance to compare other antennas to in the 6mtr shootout,
i managed to get the 827 partially stripped so i can clean it up,
hopefully i will have some pics MC style so ya can see what sirios only half decent antenna looks like under the skin.
