The Sirio Thunder is a compact, 1/4λ helical-loaded base station antenna engineered in Italy for CB 27MHz and 10-metre amateur radio use. With an exceptional bandwidth of ≥5 MHz at SWR ≤2 covering 25–29 MHz with no tuning required, it's one of the most plug-and-play base antennas in the Sirio range — perfect for operators who want reliable, hassle-free performance straight out of the box. With 100W continuous power handling (300W short time CW) and a gain of 0 dBd (2.15 dBi), it stands at just 960mm (3.15ft) tall, making it ideal for space-restricted installations. Designed for on-mast mounting and constructed from aluminium, copper, galvanised steel, and nylon.
