Sirio CX 4-68 VHF 68-73Mhz 4m Base Antenna.


This is my main 4m Vertical Antenna,it is a 3/4 wave "J" pole. I bought this second hand from a ham radio operator in Northern Ireland (Seamus GI4SZW). I have it over 2 years an have made some very long distance contacts on it. It is a basic and light omnidirectional antenna but works very well,I would recommend it to anybody who was looking for a vertical antenna for the 4m band.
