Plus with only very high antennas there are huge nulls at very useful radiation
angles. I am not sure why there is an elevation rotator, hopefully it was for
moon bounce and not to attempt to change the radiation angle.

A stack in 2 dimensions like that only works well on one band.
It won't be anything great whether SteppIR's or any other tribanders are used.
W6BH tried a stack of KT34's (only vertical stacking) and it didn't work very
well, which should have been obvious without building it. As was said, more
cents than sense.
