There is no indication that the SteppIR will require maintenance 
in five years ... or even 10 years.  I would argue that any other 
antenna will require work of some kind (e.g., cleaning spiders 
out of traps, replacing/repairing linear loading wires, etc.) 
over a 10 year period.  

The point being, the SteppIR is likely to require no more 
maintenance than any other antenna, on the average.  Further, 
if/when it does require maintenance the cost will probably not 
be out of line.
