Well, as a new SteppIR owner, I can't resist inserting myself into this "lovefest". While the SteppIR is certainly a good product and their customer service is indeed first-rate, it seems to me that

Javier - It sounds as if you are using low voltage halogen lamps - is that right? Chances are that it is the power supply responsible for the noise, not the bulbs themselves. I have 120 VAC halogen b

Have you had any other claims against your homeowners policy in the past 2 or 3 years? If not, you may be OK. If so, the company is likely to cancel your homeowners insurance (or not renew it). Size

Many folks make the assumption that the station is going to be somewhere near where the common ground entry point is for the cables, power, telephone, etc. In my case, the station is, by necessity, 7

Unless SGC has drastically changed the unit, it doesn't meet either of your requirements. While reasonably sealed against moisture, SGC recommended covering the unit with something (such as a plastic

Depends upon the guy wire used. Should be tensioned to around 10% of rated strength. I think 3/16 galvanized is rated around 3900 lbs, so tensioning to 390 lbs is right. The 45G towers you mentioned
