Well. I'm gonna have to chime in again. As fate would have it, here in central Alabama we had very severe storms blow through yesterday afternoon. Downed trees all over the place from 50 plus mph straight line winds. We were without power for about 10 hours from the storm. When the storm hit I was watching my Sirio. The wind had my Sirio vertical blown over horizontal.
When storm passed, the antenna mast made of galvanized conduit was bent. I took the antenna down and replaced the mast with a new section this morning and the antenna was straight as an arrow and is in perfect working condition. Tested SWR....perfect. Antennas can and will get bent sometimes. The Sirio 2016 made it through this storm like a champ. It's a good antenna.
