Well, IMHO, I think the Cushcraft A4 would be a good choice of antenna. I have been using CC antennas for 30 plus years and have yet to have had a problem with one. My only failure was when my tower

I agree. I have used the Cushcraft A4S for years and the A3 before that. I also have the 3 element SteppIR and two A4S's up, one of the A4S's is about the same height as the SteppIR. Often the A4S i

The 3 element Steppir is sure hard to beat, a 1:1 SWR on all bands 40 thru 6 meters, with the 30/40 kit installed. I had a A3 Cushraft for 20 years and had a few problems with the traps, but it worke

Missing pieces of this puzzle: Are signal levels lower on the A4S? Do you get better reports on the SteppIR? You didn't say. This won't be much of a puzzle if signals are better on the SteppIR :) Ma

Jon ... to correct the record the A4S is a three element yagi on 10 meters. The trapped reflector is active on 20/15 and the single reflector is active on 10 meters. With the A4, the longer boom prov

Thanks for the clarification, Joe. As to the comment I made about the SteppIR being noisier on 20 compared to the A4S, I really have no explanation for it. The reverse should be true, and I first pu

Jon - I was just wondering - I have never had or even been close to a steppir but from what I have read and surmised there must be a bit of fiberglass on the steppir or so it seems to me - If this is

Jon, Mike has mentioned your A4S vs SteppIR S/N situation and we were both baffled. I think the description of your antenna farm has probably answered the question. Having a 402CD 14' above the Step

The 40-2CD normally stacks well with a tribander, but may affect 18 and 24 Mhz. It can also affect 10, 15 or 20 if an "unlucky" length of feedline is dangling off the 40-2CD's driven element. The eas

-- No, because you are using your receiver S-meter, which needs agc to drive it. It helps though to have the nearby ham adjust his power so that, with your antenna pointed away, he is about S2, or wh
