[TowerTalk] Hustler 6BTV vs Steppir Big IR Vertical on 80m

[David Gilbert]

That's a very cool idea, but I think he'd need a 65 foot vertical or so 
to make it work with double those values.  The author himself suggests 
that it's pretty hard to come up with values that work at all if the 
antenna isn't on the long side for the lowest band, but I guess it might 
be feasible to accomplish that with top loading wires.
