[TowerTalk] steppIR 30/40 addon

[Bill Ogden]

I added the 34/40 option while the antenna was still on the tower, but my
tower
was cranked down and tilted over. The "platform" is very close to the mast
area
 and you could reach it from the vertical tower.  However, my greatest
challenge
 was getting the @#$#%@#* "U" segments on the ends of the two new elements.
 (The existing driver element is replaced as part of the upgrade).  There
is no
way you could work on the U sections from the top of the tower.

You might assemble the whole new driven element (two "elements" with the U
sections installed) on the ground, remove the existing driven element (on
the
tower), and then hoist the new driven element up and try to position it.
It is not that
heavy, but I think this process would be very awkward, at best.
