      Unsure about that Glenn but thanks a lot. I much prefer outside vlogs with this sort of thing.

      Cheers Al, I have just taken it down to try something else up as it seems to be slightly deaf to known stations. I will try it on a portable mast at 30ft up see if that improves things when i can be bothered.

    I have had one for over 3 years , built like crap but they work fantastic spoken all over the world on mine and I’m only 40 ft above sea level antenna is about 20ft high 👍

      Yeah for DX they work pretty good but unsure why but locally it is slightly down in a few directions against a Antron. I’m over 350ft asl but I’m surrounded by some big hills so maybe the Gainmaster isn’t happy climbing over them.

      @ all about location I think , I never really got out well on the Antron , different antennas different take off points on them , gainmaster was a good 2 s points on the Antron on receive and transmit and both was in the same location, if one antenna was the best for everyone we would all be using it 👍

    The first section is usually put in a bit more than the instructions say because they tend to snap there then push the other sections in a bit less than the instructions to make up for it.

      @@QRP700 Probably not a bad idea but then the other sections get short changed. Ideally the top 3 sections should’ve been a few inches longer but i guess they’re built to a budget.

    Good video Neil but did you notice you said to should slide the top section back in 1 - 1.5 mm when you meant 1 to 1.5 cm lol

      I was waiting on someone to pick up on that, nearly edited it out too but glad i didn’t now. 😂

      It’s sat in the loft Andy, I will someday put it through its paces at a decent height.

    Great video Mate. It was the Gainmaster that pretty much got my RUclips channel know. I had the very first one in England, must be 14 years ago now.🙂 ruclips.net/video/EnvJr4FJGEw/видео.html

      Thanks Dave, I was going to dump this video but thought i would throw it up on here at my dad’s request haha.
      They’re not a bad antenna but i think my location isn’t the best for the Gainmaster as RX is down a touch against a 1/2 wave antenna.
      I’ll check your videos out later.

      @@gtretroworld I enjoyed watching it, I spend hours with tape measures getting everything to the mm. I did a build video years ago on the Sirio Vector 4000 antenna.

      I have a ton of radio Footage in video 8 and mini DV from doing similar years ago but i need to transfer it someday, unsure if anyone would be interested.

    I'm durham area myself. I once had a Mighty magnum aerial the 4 ground planes were like DV 27's. The thing was huge! These days I think the Antron 99 Is nthe best all-rounder.

    • @gtretroworld
      @gtretroworld  25 дней назад

      Just literally just mentioned the Antron, for some reason RX is a good S Point better than the Gainmaster but it is probably just my location.
