I don't mean to be disrespectful but I find it odd that Tony, K1KP who
apparently was re-building his KT34/36 for the third or fourth time was
concerned with the reliability of the SteppIR antennas.
I personally have had one in the air for almost 4 years with no problems
here in Florida. I know there have been some issues that have shown up in
the SteppIR e-mail reflector, some due to growing pains with a new design,
but considering the number of antennas that must be in the field at this
point the failure rate has to be less than a couple of percent. My other
point is even if you had to re-build a SteppIR antenna it would be easier
than having to do the same to a KT34/36.
Again Tony no disrespect intended just a difference of opinion.
Julio, W4HY
