Yes, he spent a few bucks on this project!

my question is Why ?

I mean he has the ability to do it obviously, and the technical to do it
yes. But Why. Is it that much more over
a standard 4 elem steppir at say 70 FT. It wont open propagation that
isn't there ?

Just seems a waste to me

"Waste" like difference between magnifying glass and a microscope.

You would not say that if you had a chance to be behind one of those.

Antennas like that make their own propagation, when rest of the 3 - 4 el.
slobs can't hear a thing, the real antennas like that can still do so for
another hour or two, or just do it anytime.
I had "just" couple of my stacked Razors and that extended my propagation
over mortal Yagi variety by hour or two. I figured I had about 14 - 16 dBd
on 15m from stacked 7 el. log Razors http://www.k3bu.us/razor_beams.htm

If K9LTN had 6 Razors that would be a notch higher killer antenna.
