I have used my Crankir for about four years when on month long vacations in Florida.  I don't use the single adjustable length radial that Steppir provides.  I use four insulated ~20 ga. radials cut for each band of interest.

Exactly the right thing. The single radial is a stroke job. It's cute, it makes the antenna close to resonance, but it's a lousy counterpoise.
