There are decisions that only the original poster can make. We have no idea what his budget is or what his goals are regarding the antennas. The SteppIR and crankup suggestion is very expensive and y

I agree with John. We have no idea what the parameter for his tower installation are. A 100 foot crank over tower is a prodigiously expensive setup. It is real nice but a guyed tower is fine (particu

Forget about SteppIR antennas! Unless you enjoy mandatory and frequent maintenance, one of these antennas is not for you. I have seen too many suffer mechanical failure where the fiberglass tubes con

Agreed! A StepIR IS NOT the end all of antennas. Just because you have one and paid LOTS of money for it doesn't make it the best antenna in many respects. 73 Jim W7RY There are decisions that only t

The stepper has fixed element spacing and more complexity and gears and motors to go wrong. My Mosley pro96 lasts forever and there's no mechanicals. It and the steppir too is not ideal in all situat

There is probably no ideal antenna for all situations. I have a Force 12 C3ss and a D104. Wish I had sprung for the 3 el steppir with 40 el loop. Why? Extra elements, WARC, and is physically the larg

Seems like the Step is a nice antenna as the element lengths are all correct per band, but how about spacing between elements. Just doesn't seem that there could be a sweet spot that is perfect for e

Fixed spacing is just fine when you can vary the element lengths. Mike W0MU It and the steppir too is not ideal in all situations. But it works well enough. Money has nothing to do with selecting a S

When you can vary the element lengths, fixed spacing issues are not a big deal. Are single band antennas going to beat it. Probably. Even in a model single band antenna the sweet spot is one place. R
