Base A99 Height question

The Sirio 2016 was delivered today and I wasted no time getting it up on the mast. First impression is good. Incoming signals seem cleaner and clearer. Outgoing I’m loud and clear but haven’t hooked up with anyone yet from a decent distance. I made notes of the A99 and Sirio 2016. Getting better SWR with the Sirio. I’ll attach my notes. Again I’m inexperienced so if my notes look odd forgive me but I tested with power up and power down on both to see.

I’ve had the Sirio up for just about 3 weeks now and I’m still very happy I took the advice to upgrade. With my antenna being only 14 feet off the ground and 34 feet to the top I’ve had loud and clear conversations with a guy 27.7 miles away. Can’t complain about that.
