Sirio Megawatt 4000 vs 9ft Tank Whip - Non Conclusive CB Radio DX Test!

The popular Sirio Megawatt 4000 CB Radio Antenna is put up against at the 9ft quarter wave Tank Whip! Which one would work better for hill top DX and talking locally? There's only one way to find out! With the help of some local radio operators plus some surprising sporadic E DX conditions over the recent weekends I was able to get on air and see what others thought of the antennas. The weather started off well but soon deteriorated over the bank holiday weekend when I recorded the video. This isn't a scientic comparison - it's more to do with what was really seen and heard on air.

Both antennas are available from CB retailers such as Knights in the UK.

My thanks go out to Jason in Bridlington and Kev in Scarborough - two local stations involved in the testing. This was conducted over a 2 week period as the results were so close we tried doing this from a couple of different locations to check the findings.
