SteppIR antennas have had far fewer problems than the linear loading and "helical hairpin" failure in C4 variants. I suspect this debate has gotten into diminishing returns, but must comment that my EF-240S has been up 7 years so far with no problems from either the linear loading or the helical hairpin match. It's not a great antenna, pattern-wise, and the mechanics look scarey, but at 104 feet it has stood everything that Ma Nature could throw at it, including a lightning hit. 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated on June 5, 2004 2728 contest stations at www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
