Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anyone mention SteppIR, though I  
seem to remember a mention of it earlier.

I do not have one, but I've seen articles showing one masquerading as  
a flag pole.

As many know, the SteppIR has a metal "tape" element that is metered  
out from the base within a PVC (I think) tube.  The antenna element  
can be shortened/lengthened remotely to maximize performance on any  
HF band.  This design intrigued me.  Seems many of us end up retiring  
in CCR environments.  Who can argue with a good ol' American flagpole?
