[TowerTalk] Stepp IR antenna, ie Non-traditional antenna designs

[Jeff Battin]

The Stepp-IR antenna was a pleasure to put together, easy to install on the
tower, all materials are of high quality, the controller looks great, and it
has performed well on the air. I have been able to easily break pile-ups
with one or two calls.

Last weeks log highlights:

P5, VP5, OY9, 3W

It is nice to hear "Big Signal" from a DX station after breaking a pileup.

I will follow up with more impressions after a few additional weeks of
operating. I am still a new user.

    Take a look at the TT archives at www.contesting.com and emails from
K7IM
who apparently has the first on-the-air SteppIRR. He LOVES it.

    Another TowerTalkian has had one installed since New Years but he hasn't
made any comments yet (you out there, Jeff?).

Cheers,
