[TowerTalk] re; STEPPir ANTENNAs

Plus with only very high antennas there are huge nulls at very useful radiation angles.  I am not sure why there is an elevation rotator, hopefully it was for moon bounce and not to attempt to change the radiation angle.

A stack in 2 dimensions like that only works well on one band.
It won't be anything great whether SteppIR's or any other tribanders are used.  W6BH tried a stack of KT34's (only vertical stacking) and it didn't work very well, which should have been obvious without building it.  As was said, more cents than sense.
