Hello everyone:

Currently my equipment includes a YAESU FT-950 driving an Ameritron AL-811H into a MOXON rectangle which seems to be working quite well (20m). The MOXON is a homebrew affair,  made up with fishing poles, etc., and although it works well it is kind of a clumsy rig. I'm looking into other antenna alternatives.  I like the SteppIR idea!

73,

John, WM6W
