What happened to "Freedom" and "Personal Property Rights"? Zoning boards have gone way overboard. Where does control end? I keep hearing this word "eyesore" thrown around. Well, I happen to find tall
I will be putting up a 3 el SteppIR sometime in the next month. Does anyone have a great idea about how to add 40 meters? I can't have much separation so it would have to be something that can be mou
I've seen several towers with climbable masts on top. The masts had foot pegs of some kind on them. How is this done? Where do you get the pegs or masts with pegs already installed? Kelly Johnson N6K
Does anyone have experience with mounting yagi's to trees? If so, where might I find someone capable of fabricating a suitable mounting bracket? I've heard this used to be quite common in the Pacific
Does anyone out there have experience with the Force 12 Sigma 40? I put one up last year, but took it down about 6 months ago because I wasn't getting the desired performance from it. I've decided to

I've spoken to the team at Fluid Motion several times about 40 meter capable versions of the SteppIR. I've been told they are planning to have one available next year. They told me that it will most
I'll second N6RK's comments plus add a few of my own. I just used a SteppIR for SS. It was sure nice being able to flip the beam 180 degrees in a couple seconds to work KH7X. Also, my beam is parked
Anyone out there have an idea about how close I can put a 40 meter rotatable dipole or 40 meter 2-el. yagi to a 3 el tribander without severe interaction problems assuming they are mounted perpendicu
Maybe, but the $250,000 price tag would certainly provoke a less than desirable response from your XYL :-) and _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self
Yes, one could imagine this, but I would propose something that I believe would be even better (and would serve other useful purposes). I would propose that the SteppIR team provide an API by which y
Thanks for the post, but this doesn't do it. This merely feeds frequency information to the controller so it can "auto-adjust". There are issues with the "auto-adjust" that (for me) makes it annoying
Yes, but the SteppIR retunes every 25KHz. Suppose I am tuning around 14.025. Every time I jump over the "retune point" the controller starts running the stepper motors. There appears to be no (or ver
Agreed. This is how I actually use my SteppIR. I never use the "auto-tune/general coverage mode" for reasons I stated yesterday. I typically set the frequency manually when I switch to the CW portion
I've been looking for a new tower. Do ya' think this will hold a 2 element 40 meter yagi? and _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Tower
Aw, who needs towers. Can't we just rewrite the laws of physics or something. C'mon, aesthetics is FAR more important than Search & Rescue, right? Last time I tried to get a tower permit, one of the
Unless you are planning to paint the elements battleship grey to better match the sky, I wouldn't paint the SteppIR elements to make them more visually pleasing. The SteppIR elements are a very nice
