[Great-River-DX] RE: triband antenna comparison

Looking at the specs shows the Mosley with 2-3 db more gain than the Steppir
but I am not sure how true to form that is.

Hi Jay,
 I am interested in how the StepIR stands up against the old tribanders.  My
guess is the StepIR will be at least as good if not better on most bands,
due to being full sized elements that can be optimized in length, if not on
spacing on the boom.  I don't know of anyone close by that has one but at
least a couple of guys are thinking about them as well.
