Carl, your bragging doesn't make any sense at all. For any specific band
most monoband antennas will stomp a SteppIR, assuming that the boom length
is the same or longer than the SteppIR. For band hopping convenience, I
would agree with you that the SteppIR antenna is better than most
tribanders. All of this bickering back and forth has become tedious at
best.
