[Elecraft] [HAM] Hi Q versus Vertical

Hi Frank:

Lots of K3 users have the SteppIR BigIR vertical. I know this from being a
member of both Yahoo groups. You might want to pose the same question on the
SteppIR Yahoo group. 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SteppIR/

And I just thought you would like to know that SteppIR has just announced
the addition of an optional coil to the SmallIR that will make that antenna
work on 80 through 6 meters as does the BigIR. The SmallIR is half the
height of the BigIR. Just a bit more stealthy. Maybe it can be made to look
like a flagpole.

73,
Mike K2MK


>From Frank KD8FIP:

I am looking for an antenna to work 6 thru 80 meters in a condo
development. I presently own a k3/10.

Stealth is a very strong consideration. It seems that a SteppIR
Vertical or Hi Q antenna would make sense. Does anyone have experience
with these two antennas for this type of application? Thanks you for
your time and expertise.
