Got desperate. Ordered Sirio 2016 from UK
- Thread starter CB590
- Start date
So everything is in the box. Except the very top of the mast. That steps down to the ball adjustment part. 
Sent email to UK shop and Sirio Italy

Dave from the dealer RadioWorldUK got back to me. Suggested I check the box again. I followed up with more pics of the torn box and showed the 3 sections that I got. I even offered another 20 BP to get a replacement antenna 5 sections sent. It stinks with the time difference.
In other news. So here is the HP server board adapter that I got coming for $13. Has connections for upto 10 gauge and simple led and on/off switch.
That and the 75 amp (1200w/900w) supply should be here by mid week. CarlBuilt 400HD due in late next week (hopefully).
I was thinking 2-3 10 gauge leads stepped to whatever Carl is supplying should do it.
The original board I ordered for $10 which is not going to work well, only uses a max of 14 gauge wire. Though I like the voltage display.

So Sam at RadioWorldUK (guessing he is a higher up) got back to me. He is working on getting either the sections from Sirio when the reopen or get from his next shipment from Sirio.
I suggested via email that possibly the 827 and 2016 utilize the same antenna sections. Not sure but was worth a mention to him. Maybe it will speed things up.
I'm glad the A99 is still up in the air since skip has been in and out here in the NE

Got an email at 03:32 AM EST from Stefania Grazioli at Sirio Italy. Asked for picture of the silver label on the permanent part of the mast near the coil as it shows a batch number and Sirio 2016 part number. Sent it to them ASAP.
So maybe progress on both ends one could hope.

they sent me the top blue part and tip again. Came yesterday UPS air from UK. Still need section 2 of tubing.
Update in my saga
Sirio sent RadioWorldUK my replacement parts to forward to me last week. Apparently UPS WorldShip decided to damage the package to the point it never made it to me here. They sent it back to the shipper.
Keep in mind this was the 3rd try at getting me the parts. Tempted to just buy the 1/2 wave SilverRod "Venom" with the mini GP and call it done.
I'm sure RadioWorldUK is t happy either.

The sirio 827 is built like a tank compared to the other sirio antennas,
they use the same tube in most of their antennas so they have common diameter tubes but in different places in the antenna,
2016 sections are most like the gps27 & top sections of new vector 4000.
