[TowerTalk] Rotors

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I think a Tailtwister can handle the 4 ele SteppIR just fine.  I turn 4 
ele SteppIR's with 2 ele XM240's above them with the original Alpha Spid 
and Green Heron controllers.  They worked great.

After having the 4 ele SteppIR's I might consider going to the 3 unless 
you really think the extra DB is worth it or you want the longer 6 ele 
6m option.  You could probably buy a 7 ele 6m beam designed for that 
band for less than the upgrade from the 3 to the 4.

I would probably lean to one of the antennas that has 2 ele on 40/30.

Good luck!
