I've had a Sigma 80 in operation for 4 months and love it. It is mounted
HORIZONALLY on a rotor at 80' here at my ridgetop location. (You would
obviously want it higher in locations with flatter foregrounds.) It
performs excellently and with the 3-relay switchbox, I can cover the entire
band from 3.5-4.0MHz. Someday I may evolve it into a 2-element array, but
so far its the best 80M solution I've ever had. It is almost trivial to
install and tune.
