nice!  Being that they are SteppIR's they can be  anything from 6 to 20
meters.  One man's junk is another man's  treasure.  


    I was told that one of the design flaws was that  all of the feedlines go 
to ONE balun. That'd make it pretty tough to diagnosis  a problem with one of 
the antennas. I don't know what the switching scheme if  any.

40 that was criticized here which is now on the  air.  Congrats to them!



         Yep. It takes a lot  of vision and dedication to do something so 
out-of-the-box.
