[TowerTalk] Quad vs SteppIR

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist (N6RK)]

I have a Lightning Bolt quad and a 4 element SteppIR.
My experience is the same, the SteppIR is way more
directive than the quad.  Before the quad, I had a
KT34.  It was also more directive than the quad.
I only got the quad because it covered the WARC bands.
