I have been thinking the same thing, Kelly. I think a 3 element SteppIR 
with 13.9 MHz parastitic elements and a the 6.9 MHz MonsterIR 
driven element would be a big hit. Rotary dipole performance on 
40 and 30, and 3 element yagi performance on 20, 17, 15, 12, 10. 
Great for a 1/8 to 1/4 acre suburban lot.
