Anyone tried the Sigma Venom Aluminum 5/8 from England?
- Thread starter Wire Weasel
- Start date
Do you remember me asking if you were able to see shielding wires inside the black electrical tape surrounding the wire for the CLR2 antenna coil matcher that I posted above. I think I also sent you several emails about this?
Anyway, I suspect the video below may be showing us something similar to what could be happpening inside the hub on your HG Venom 5/8 wave from England if there is NO shielding.
If so, this demonsration may be important to best operations for this HG design. And with this shield we might see a better pattern and maybe improved maximum gain and angle as a result.
Gary, here is a video telling us his Thunderpole antenna is 24' feet long, and the model name is printed on the box and also showing us it is a 5/8 wave on the top of the box. Does your box show the same markings or does it say it is a High Gain Venom?
BTW not that it really matters, but the real name of the original company that produced the Silver Rod is spelled HyGain, another difference I noticed in the video.
How say you?

Don't take your antenna apart again. Can you tell us what you found hard in getting your antenna put back together?
Thanks Gary. I can't explain the differences, but I see the differences.

Sounds like you were using a nut driver.
That's not good, to have an important connection you can't be sure is secure and tight. Could it be cross threaded?
