Which one would be better for local? It'd be replacing a solarcon 99 mounted on a metal pole, about 30 feet up at the base or so. |

i'd lean towards the aluminum sirio, but the maco v5/8 is the real preference. |

Given a choice between the two you mention, the Imax. Hands down.
If you can broaden the field, the Maco V-5/8. |

I own a 2016 , have had it for a over a year now. Low noise, good swr 1 to 1, and a great performer.
I have had 2 Maco 5/8, they are a struggle to get the swr down and assemble, and over 70 mph winds they bend.
