    The sirio tunes in just as well as the Wilson. I'll need to wait till tonight when the locals are out to get a proper radio check. In the mobile the sirio fucking blew away the Wilson in ever measurable way. Excited to see what happens in the roof
    It will probably work better now that you have a vertical antenna.

    It will work better because the sirio is a clearly superior antenna to the wilson

    From what I hear and read about them they are better than the Wilson antennas.

    Ive got another idea for a easy to make base antenna. 102in whip on a swivel mount to make it completely vertical. Idk if you think that would be an improvement over the sirio.

    A 102 would work better to a degree however as it is now I am walking on thin ice with the hoa. A 102 would be even more conspicuous. Furthermore I'd have to fabricate some other mount. This whole get up works because the mag mount adheres to the attic fan.
    This sirio adjusts so it does stand vertical.
