[Towertalk] Seeking input for new antenna.

[Richard Karlquist]

Heard at Visalia from the IR crew:

Yes they are working on a 4 element version.  It will
have a ~36 foot boom.  They are in the final stages of tuning
up the first one, which will be shipped to a beta customer
soon.  You can upgrade from the 3 element SteppIR.

(who has a 3 element SteppIR on order)

wonder if they're working on a 4-element version? I bet it would be 
insensitive to rain static, as the elements are inside the fiberglass 
tubing...
