Topband: Shunt Fed Tower-Need Parts

[Greg - ZL3IX]

  Hi Marc,

I have been using a SteppIR for top loading for nearly 7 years.  There 
is no problem with doing this.

I also took the step of grounding all elements to the boom to mazimise 
the loading.  For some reason the SteppIR elements are floating when the 
antenna leaves the factory.
