Really too bad, Barry, that your nerves would keep you from buying the most
innovative and exciting beam to come on the market in many, many years.
Having been a Ham for more than 50 years now, my 3-EL SteppIR is giving me
nothing but pleasure and great satisfaction in being able to break pile-up
after pile-up on the HF bands, including the WARC bands.
It is the best 3-EL beam that I have had and in the year and a half that it has
been up it has seen rather severe ice and wind storms; "amazingly" it is still
up there and working just great.
A 3-EL monobander on every frequency in each band 20M to 6M.
Oh well, to each his own, thank God that my nerves are strong :>)
73, Carl VE9OV
