[TowerTalk] Re: Quad vs SteppIR

[Richard M. Gillingham]

I suppose that's possible.  I'm at 45 ft.  the other guys vary from 35 to 
120 ft.  quads, yagis and one lp.  It appears to me that my Mosley CL33 warc 
that I took down when I put up the Steppir was noisy in the rain, but since 
I didn't buy the new one for that attribute, and I can't do an A/B one 
against the other, it's pretty subjective...

So....

If we can just get Frances to pass us by and continue out to sea.......
