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?
