Hello folks!

What's the consensus here folks? Will an Antron A-99 (with a 'fireup' top section) outperform a Sirio 827?

I've no experience of the A-99, although I've had a 827 in the past. I've noticed that the A-99 (in standard form) is considerably cheaper than an 827.

How do they compare with TX/RX?

Is the A-99 as good at handling high winds?

Which one will stand the test of time? What are your thoughts folks? I've noticed the A-99 be mentioned time and time again, not so much the 827....
All comments gratefully received!

Oh, and I forgot to mention folks....

I'm thinking of purchasing a SSB equipped radio (much) later on. Would I be limiting myself by going for the 827, given it's narrower range?

siro beats the 99 hands down for radio performance

SSB.... It's a LONG way down the line, probably Christmas..

Toying with the idea of cementing in an Astralite/Trilite style mast in the back garden, Sirio 827 on top, and a Magnum S9 for in the house. Wife permitting of course.....

"Wife permitting of course " good luck on that one mate lol [-o<
