from DM4iM:

...2. 2 wires , each a 1/4 wave, one  left , the other one right to the
tower , with the horizontal sections going in opposite directions.

Martin,

This arrangement can work well. There are even ways to use a single feedline 
if necessary.

The only difficulty may be on 80M -- there will be strong interaction if the 
tower is close to resonance. The SteppIR may need to be set to a particular 
band, or have all elements retracted, as needed for minimum interaction.
