Sigma Eurocomm Boomerang In the Air


Sorry for the delay but weather, roof and time constraints have made it harder recently to upload videos. So for £29.99 plus shipping and assembled in minutes on any balcony. Use the cutting chart, mine was set at 9.6cm and covered from 26.400 at swr 2:1 and dropped down from 26965-27800 at 1;1 and then ending around 28.300 with again over 2:1 swr. Power handling of 100w and looks like a Halfbreed base with a DV27 top. The antenna receives well, sure not the same as a 1/2 but when we tested this on Jakobs roof we managed a QSO with Portugal under not the best conditions so nothing to cry over. Sure in situations where a large antenna cannot be used then this will fit the bill. Well, gotta be better than the super lance and other versions of the small plastic antennas.

(Upload via 4g) So the antenna is installed and the tests will start. This qth not mine as cannot talk anywhere from my QTH ;) The antenna will set you back 59.99 pounds and then another 17.00 from the website at www.sigmaeurocomm.co.uk and normally they are delivered inside the EU within 2 days. The SWR is a picky thing, the settings for this one are shown on the video, and it will be checked to see if any better settings can be made in the weeks ahead weather depending and access to friends roof. So far managed 30SD/EU080 with 5/9 so nice start. This antenna was tested by me and others in prototype and now released to the world and soon to be seen inside Germany, Romania amongst other places so am told. 1kw power handling (we test this hehehe) and nice priced antenna for the hills and easy to install. So LET THE TESTING NOW BEGIN.... I will use this antenna some weekends when can visit this QTH otherwise listen on the air and sure you will hear the other station running it. Located in SE of Budapest near to Kispest.

The M0OGY Review Of The Sigma Euro-Comm 5/8 Wave Skipmaster .........Part 1


This is a look at the top section of the new Skipmaster 5/8th wave CB Antenna. This antenna is supplied with two different tuning tips that can also be used on the 10 meter Amateur Radio band. The antenna is built in Birmingham in the United Kingdom by Sigma Euro-comm who started the company back in 1989. It's always nice to support British Industry as most products are built abroad these days to keep costs down. I intend doing further tests in the Spring and from static mobile , from North Lincolnshire's high point of Nettleton and Worlaby Tops. One good point with the 5/8th version is the length is only a little over 14 feet ,instead of 18 feet for the Skipmaster 1/2 Wave 2010. Thanks for watching the video, 73 Dave M0OGY, North Lincolnshire UK.

TPole 5 / Sigma Eurocomm 2010 Skipmaster 1/2 FIRE UP... FIRST TIME SEEN ANYWHERE


So the antennas were supplied by Andy at Thunderpole and Paul at Sigma Eurocomm and work both excellently. Then i had the idea would or could they make a 5/8 version as the 1/2 works exceptionally well. The answer was a "fire-up" tip had been tried in December and that more time was needed to see IF it worked. I managed to loan a tip and had a play to see if it worked. Local reports were up, DX was worked with 100w and Kucha Hans KPO DX5000 so the answer was yes. Bandwidth is Bigger, Antenna is now below 5m long so need to check how this plays out and also could be maybe too heavy at the top. Maybe the wire inside the fire up makes up for the two missing parts? What I need now is another fire up as the one used was a loan one. And then let the MORE TESTS CONTINUE. Here are anyway the provisional findings........

Prototype Sigma Eurocomm Fire UP II


Arrived overnight via DHL is this new fire-up. At the moment this piece is not for sale and is not in production. It is here for on air tests and will be asap. Todays was stopped due to thunder and lightning. A tickle with the allen key and the swr is fine from around 26.8 upwards topping out at 28.2mhz but you can adjust the length for how you want it. The development of parts for the Sigma Eurocomm 2010 Skipmaster 1/2 is on going and this part now will be run by me and check which areas the bands can be covered with it. 1st answer on 2781 was Scotland so nice start. Power Handling cannot say as not produced at the moment, gain also cannot state now and all that can be said it is indeed 5/8 with a much longer tuning length metal than the previous edition. IF HEAR me on air and subscribe here send me a PM with how it is. All feedback is needed,, and in the meantime the next weeks now will test it against A99 and other antennas of a similar ilk to see how and what happens

BDARC Mills On The Air 2012...........Complete With Sigma Euro-Comm SE-HF- X80 Vertical


Make a drink this is a long one!!......This is the 2012 "Mills On The Air" event that the Brigg and District Amateur Radio club took part in for the forth year running from Wrawby Post Mill that is the last surviving post mill in the North of England that was built in 1760, this was the weekend 12th and 13th May. For further details of the mill and event , check out "GB2WPM" on QRZ.com. This year we where kindly loaned a paddock owned by one of the BDARC member's relatives to operate from within the postcode and locator square of the mill. On this years event we used our new Icom IC7200 that was supplied only the day before the event. A little too much "11th hour" for my liking. The verdict after 48 hours constant use is this radio is well made and has an superb front end with RX as capable as higher end radios such as the IC756 PRO 3 and IC7600 that cost far more money. On this years event one of the BDARC sponsors kindly sent me a sample antenna to test and review. This came from Paul @ Sigma Euro-comm and is the SE-HF-80 vertical that uses a 9-1 UNUN on the bottom and is 18 feet long. Please check out "www.sigmaeurocomm.co.uk" for further details and pricing. My findings where that it does work OK, but it is no match for our much larger wire doublet horizontal antenna. BUT for those in areas where larger antennas are not permitted this could be an answer for a not unreasonable price. Please note we used the extra 40/80 meter add on kit too.

KPO-DX5000 Kucha Hans RX Mods


Latest Revision from Hans. The same power mods as before but NOW THE RECEIVE ON SSB/FM has been adapted so indeed they sound the same. I have tested this radio this morning with 100w and have spoken to Asia, Middle East and South America so it works. I would also here like to thank 108PL259, 108CS who have given there time to let me know the signal and audio reports and also Geoff 43TR299 who spoke with me. The antenna is a FIRE UP version of the Thunderpole 5 / Sigma Eurocomm 1/2 Skipmaster 2010. I have taken away the 3rd fibreglass section and also the metal tip which governs SWR and replaced it with the Fire Up and seen the difference. 400 channels of bandwidth of SWR instead of around 120 on the normal tip and seems the rx got higher and the tx locally was much better. It was according to the people i spoke with "like turning on an amplifier. So, seems to work......

www.thunderpole.co.uk Here is the link and comes SWR for the usual channels and works really quite well in my opinion. Good Price and sound investment for the cost. Check my video with 26CT483 he was using this antenna when we made contact and was working well into Germany with it. 500w power handling and 1.89cm antenna. Does what it says on the tin. Works well and MADE IN THE UK, BIRMINGHAM by Paul and his team at Sigma Eurocomm and all there stuff works well.

Thunderpole Full 1/4 Tank Whip


2.75m or 9ft in old money this antenna is a beast. As you can see with the waggling on the car it is a monster. Made in Great Britain and SWR lovely between 26.1 to the edges of 28mhz this will give you the edge on the DX. In the old days I used one of these drilled into the roof of a Renault 4 van and worked the world on it. Kick Ass it did. Now Thunderpole inside the UK and also Team GmBh in Germany will stock this Sigma Eurocomm made antenna and good for them. From the hills a 1/4 will work excellent due to its angle of reflection. More antennas to come here from the Thunderpole range when can get them sorted out and of course without the help of Andy from Thunderpole none of these antennas could be bought and shipped to me in Germany. So, without there help it could not happen... Simple As. And yes it is 17.7ph stainless steel made and 1kw handling so nice and well with that KL500 you use on the hills :)

Antenna of choice was the Sigma Eurocomm 5/8 @ 178m ASL..

AE2990AFS Handheld, 3 watts ish and the Sigma Eurocomm Venom 1/2 works not to bad as it were as the conditions were not so bad. Thanks for the test Gary and nice that it did make the trip from this small handie. This one was supplied via www.neuner.de and indeed some have said about audio and other issues. For my own idea, Mike Gain around 1/2 to 3/4 no more, RF Gain on Maximum and the Squelch around 1 or 2 seems to work well enough. Legal Mode also works well with the same settings and for those who have the SSB "Jitter" then there is a modification to cure that although it is not recommended in 400 channel mode so if you are to do that mod then remember no 400 channels for you :)

Antenna that was so popular in the UK in the 90's maybe returns if people want it and the orders allow it. This antenna is a prototype from Sigma Eurocomm here for tests and from the island in Hungary with around 21-25w made 10 countries from the plastic so what can you say more than that?? Conditions were not excellent nor were they poor at the same time. The tests continue onwards into August but I personally believe there is a market for this antenna, truckers and cars it sits nice and works well. This antenna was NOT PAID FOR as it is a piece for tests. Strength, power handling and other information to come asap. But at the moment it is something to see and hope that Team GmBH and others will import this to the German market place where I believe there is a market same as Hungary, Czech Republic and others.

112 ET 0 Dominique (Modded Antenna)


Test with the Hans Modified KPO 5000, 100w and the antenna is a modified Sigma Eurocomm 1/2 Skipmaster 2010. You keep the bottom 2 sections and replace the third fibreglass section and 4th metal section with the Fire-UP attachment. Immediate changes are the bandwidth is more, the s meter locally reads at least S2 on tx and S1 on rx. So, if you have the Thunderpole 5 or the original from Sigma Eurocomm then loan a fire up and have a play. Bandwidth is much better and the antenna although around 4.4m instead of 5.5m seems to work. Thanks to 108PL259, 108CS and 43TR299 Geoff who gave me reports on the antenna and seems really to work. So, let us see if Thunderpole or Sigma EC will make this attachment an idea, and also if Team GMBH will make the antenna a reality in there new 2011 catalogue

Prototype II Sigma EC Skipmaster 5/8 // Thunderpole 5 5/8 ?


Here is the new tip for the Skipmaster / Thunderpole 5. Fibreglass fully wound and makes the antenna 5/8 spec. Arrived today and tested briefly the SWR with the tip raised to 13cm and so far starts at 26515 with 1.8 and then bottoms to 1.1 from around 27380 to 27780 (uk channel 19) and works all the way to 28.555 where it is 1.8 so quite a nice bandwidth. I NEED CONDITIONS but locally when tested was almost S1 up on the last prototype version and seems the noise has dropped my side also. The local FRN gateways are around the same rx with +10db for the Laim and +30db for the Unter One. So it is actually a little higher than with the last prototype and 1/2-3/4 up on the original version of the antenna. Power Handling? Price ? Colours ? cannot tell you now as this is a prototype but will be on air with this now the next weeks so if you hear me then send me a message here or via email and let me know. And for the CharlieTango HB2 weekend this antenna will be the one on the air. The stand alone antenna can also be ordered direct from them at www.thunderpole.co.uk for the Thunderpole 5 which this antenna is, and the Sigma Eurocomm 2010 Skipmaster 2011 will be via the www.sigmaeurocomm.co.uk

Antenna swr is excellent for over 300 channels with nothing more than 1.2 at the lowest raising to 1.8 at the band edges. On the packet it states 4.2db and 1kw handling. There will be a review done later and infact my friend Nelson bust the move as he replied immediately before had time to start recording any information. For more information about these antennas then please take a look at www.sigmaeurocomm.co.uk and thanks to them for fast shipping.
