[TowerTalk] Fwd: SteppIR QSY Time

[AA6DX - Mark]

My opine .. if you are jumping to a band for a mult, and need to get there 
fast in a certain direction ... PLAN AHEAD, put up a little mono bander, or 
multi bander, pointed in the general direction ..  height/swr, all that not 
important for this use, IF it is "your turn" on that band ---- golleee, 
could be a dipole/vertical .. else, --- suffer!  (Potty time?  BUT HURRY!)
HIHI .. Mark . AA6DX
