I haven't received my QST just yet. Is there any mention of any other
version of the antenna?
I have a 3 element SteppIR on order. It sure would be nice to have the
driven element cover 40-10M and the other 2 elements cover 20-10M. I was
going to call them toward the end of this week or the beginning of next week
to check on the order. I will ask about additional options.
