[TowerTalk] step ir vs zero five

[K2VI]

I can't advise if the big ir is a better alternative however i do own the zero five with 60 ground radials from 28-60'. I will say on 40 meters past 1000 miles it plays excellent. Inside that distance equal or worse than my ladder line fed 130' doublet dipole up 50'. For dxing on 40 the zero five was usually 2-3 db better than the dipole and sometimes even more. It also does very well on 60M, 15M.. fair on 20.All other band don't get excited, It's a glorified dummy load.
