And I have a two element SteppIR beam but I also have a BiggIR vertical which was my only antenna here. Small lots deed restrictions etc. I've had a lot of beams, quads, wires and verticals in my 40 years of hamdom but as far a verticals go, the SteppIR along with my K3 has been simply outstanding. I won the STX section of the 10 meter contest in 2009 using only that vertical and I have DX contacts all over the world, often breaking pileups quickly. I was never a fan of verticals but for limited space, they work and the SteppIR which gives me 80-6 meters is by far the best vertical I have ever had. I have 40 radials and an vertical that is always resonant, no matter where I go. (except 160 of course)
