[TowerTalk] Front to Back Measurements

[David L. Thompson]

Kim Bottles recently reported on his SteppIR beam.  Actually you have the
option of getting 1, 2 or 3 elements
with a separate 6 meter parasitic element option.  The antenna is pricey but
an innovative way to cover everything from 20 meters to 6 meters in one
antenna.  It breaks down into a portable package and handles 2KW.  The 3
elment when set for 20 is quite big for portable
or Dxpedition operation but the 2 el seems to fit the bill.  Wish I could
get one and put it on one of the Force 12 42 foot portable towers!

Its amazing the innovative antennas around today...sure beats the old Mosley
Vest Pocket beams with their lossy coils!
