[TowerTalk] step away from steppir, Son

[Richard M. Gillingham]

Umm  How's that antenna on 17M?  15?  12?  10???

If you put up monobanders for each of those bands, I bet you beat the pants 
off a Steppir.  But what was all that about $$$

I've got a 3 el Steppir.  On a city lot.  I figure I've got a pretty good 
situation.

YMMV
