Subject: ADD THE LOW BANDS TO YOUR STEPPIR

About a year ago I put up my 3 el. SteppIR. It is a great antenna. To add low band capability I put a loop over the SteppIR in the plane of the SteppIR boom. The addition works like gangbusters on 30, 40, 60, 75/80 and 160. The loop also works as a rotatable 160 RX antenna with 30 dB F/B ratio.
The addition is so simple and effective I wrote an article describing it for QST. It is in the current [Feb.] issue.
Keep an eye out for the article.
