Next to some of the comments that have been made regarding the tower
accident; this ranks as a downright stupid argument.  To say it is tedious
is a major understatement.  Come on guys, grow up!!

Carl, your bragging doesn't make any sense at all.  For any specific band 
most monoband antennas will stomp a SteppIR, assuming that the boom length 
is the same or longer than the SteppIR.  For band hopping convenience, I 
would agree with you  that the SteppIR antenna is better than most 
tribanders.  All of this bickering back and forth has become tedious at 
best.
