Which 27MC base antenna should you choose for home use?
Depending on your property: ground floor, detached house, terraced house, flat, or apartment.
There are not many balcony antennas but: Sirio New Boomerang A, Sirio New Boomerang W and the Sirio Tornado.
Selection steps to choose your base antenna
Different materials you can choose from steel and fiberglass as the material of your antenna.
Discuss storm, bad weather, etc.
Discuss adjustment
Mounting to a mast using antenna brackets or mast brackets.
Discuss height
Discuss antenna rotor
You have vertical antennas without radials or with an optionally available radial set, or a vertical antenna with side radials. Here are some examples of brands and types:
Antenna rotor for use with directional antennas
Antenna rotors, rotators and rotors – aim your antenna just right
Want better reception and maximum signal quality with your directional antenna? At Deltron.nl, you'll find a wide range of antenna rotors and accessories from top brands like Yaesu and Sharman – suitable for amateur radio, military communications, and FM/TV antennas.
What is an antenna rotor?
An antenna rotor (or rotator) allows you to rotate a directional antenna horizontally, allowing you to precisely align it with the strongest signal. This is ideal for signals coming from multiple directions—for example, when DXing or receiving multiple TV channels.
Each antenna rotor consists of:
A rotor unit on the mast
A controller in the shack or with your equipment
Together they ensure precise tuning and optimal range.
Advantages of an antenna rotor
Stronger and clearer signal – thanks to optimal alignment
Reception from multiple directions – without manually moving your antenna
Cost-effective – replaces the need for multiple antennas
Fine tuning – ideal for changing conditions or remote signals
Types of antenna rotors
Deltron offers rotors for every type of antenna installation:
Standard rotors – for light and medium-weight directional antennas
Ham rotors – for heavy shortwave antennas (HF)
PA installation or broadcast applications – with high power handling capacity
AzEl rotors – control both horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) direction, for satellite communications, among other things.
The difference is in the power of transceivers that must be matched to your antenna that can also handle that peak power.
Run the cable from the antenna indoors and connect it to your transceiver.
Discuss the importance of: not kink the cable, connect the connectors properly, and ensure that moisture cannot enter. Also, protect the antenna connection from moisture such as snow and rain, as well as dirt.
