I'm currently running a 32' vertical in the backyard fed at the base 
with a 200 watt sgc tuner.  Eventually I want install an amplifier so 
the current setup will not work.

I'm considering the Steppir and Hustler 6BTV verticals.  My current 
thinking is the 6BTV will perform better due to top loading vs the 
Steppir which uses base loading for 80m.

Its obvious that the Steppir is more expensive than other solutions, but 
lets not worry about that right now.   My  main goal is to  run some 
power on 80m  with the  most efficient vertical (between the two 
mentioned above)  I can install.

Thanks in advance.
