    This video was in the scrap pile but decided it maybe useful to someone so here it is.The Antenna works unbelievably well and incredibly well locally beam to beam.
    Although it is cut for 27.500 i have adjusted the Gamma for UK40 Channel 20 which is 1.1 which moves me into 10m CW with ease and although a little high at 2.1 on 27.000mhz you will find the Gamma match is very tunable for quite a decent bandwidth.
    Here are the results and element cutting measurements:
    SWR,
    26.500mhz 2.5
    27.700mhz 2.1
    27.555mhz 1.5
    27.791mhz 1.1
    28.000mhz 1.4
    28.100mhz 1.7
    28.300mhz 2.6
    Each Element length for 27.500 with standard Gamma measurements is:
    Reflector 2837mm
    Driven 2570mm
    Director 2510mm

    had the four element version 36ft in the air since 2015 despite buying it in 2009. once you work the flatside you'll never go back to dxing with a vertical as it'll hear stations that wouldn't even register on a vertical

    I have a Sirio 10/11Mhz vertical I put up a couple months ago. I have it tuned to the 10m band and have been extremely impressed with its performance. It is well made and was easy to put together. Now I may have to try the yagi antenna.

    Just had the SY27-4 delivered and was wondering how broad banded it would be from a planned 28.400 mhz set up. The SWR measurements you provided answered my question before I even put mine together. Thank you for taking the time and effort to provide this information on your set-up of the antenna. I'm looking forward to getting mine up in the air. Great video! 73.

      The Bandwidth with the 4 Element is a bit narrower than the 3 but it will cover all the 10m band without any problem whatsoever.. I was actually going to try the 4 element myself but i am hankering for a Quad next, maybe someday i will try it though.

      The antenna is superb so although the 4 element with have a smaller bandwidth the extra gain should be pretty good.
      For 10m and let’s Say 27,385 I used the radios ATU but it was still very good.If you plan on just using it for 11m just work out the centre of where you plan on working and cut for that.My measurements and SWR readings are in the description.

      It really depends where you want to operate.I use this for 10/11m so decided to sort of widen its bandwidth.Cutting 93mm off the Director,95mm off the driven and 105mm off the Reflector gives these results.1.1 around 27,900/1.5 on 27,500mhz.The Gamma match will only match so much but like i say it really depends where you want to operate.I will say though it is a fantastic antenna if you take your time setting it up.
