Well what can I say? First off great shipment via GLS arrived safely and great conditions with no blemishes. The coil is a little loose (meaning outside case) where the logo is situated. When turning it on the magnetic base sometimes it showed more times than others.

Side by side to a Jetfon Super Santiago. Same overall height, same weight, same sort of coil, same font so guess same place of build

Left is Super Santiago, Right Sirtel Santiago

First contact from the box was Beirut city at 2,047km and second was Rostov On Don at 1,560km one with 5/9 the other closer at 5/5

SWR So I checked on 26.285 2:1 and on 26.425 1:8 and basically flat between 26.7 and 27.9 then it rises of course but the banding etc really good and this wasn’t tuned it was from the box to the Sirio magnetic base. My issue is the outside case moving, so will look into it whether the top needs tightening we will see. But it works have no doubt at all. Is this antenna unique? It’s not and shares a lot of DNA with other brands it’s most certain. Next weekend more effort and more see what we can speak too so watch this space.
