Mike Mertel, K7IR, developed what I believe is one the most innovative new antenna ideas in years if not in decades. The U.S. Patenet office apparently agrees and awarded him a patent for it. Mike is an Electrical Engineer but I don't believe he worked in the antenna field before starting SteppIR. That was born from his interest in ham radio.
