The Stepp-IR antenna was a pleasure to put together, easy to install on the
tower, all materials are of high quality, the controller looks great, and it
has performed well on the air. I have been able to easily break pile-ups
with one or two calls.
Last weeks log highlights:
P5, VP5, OY9, 3W
It is nice to hear "Big Signal" from a DX station after breaking a pileup.
I will follow up with more impressions after a few additional weeks of
operating. I am still a new user.

Take a look at the TT archives at www.contesting.com and emails from
K7IM
who apparently has the first on-the-air SteppIRR. He LOVES it.
Another TowerTalkian has had one installed since New Years but he hasn't
made any comments yet (you out there, Jeff?).
Cheers,
