[Antennas] Force 12 Sigma SV5

Thu, 9 May 2002 08:28:04 +0100 (BST)

Hi all,

Perhaps you should take a look at this "review" of the sigma 5 at 

http://www.vinecom.co.uk/sigma5.html

Please note 	1) That Ron is a dealer... therefore caution !
		2) I have no connection to anyone, ever, just trying to
		be helpful blah be blah de blah......

However, in the UK we have serious antenna restrictions, wherever you
live (unless VERY VERY remote). This antenna seems to be a good idea. I
think it was review in RADCOM favourably. Were it not for the price, I
would have one in my yard now..... If you get one please let us know the
results !

BTY I do have a TV antenna atop a 17ft Rohn 25 tower that I installed under PRB-1 rules.  Possibly I could put up the SV5 in its place.  I would risk doing this if it would be an improvement.
