I have a 3 element SteppIR. It is on a 16 ft boom.

The other Rick said:

What kind of a mast or tower is it on, and what rotator are you using to
turn it?


It's on a 72 ft US Tower crank-up, the medium sized tower, not the biggest
one. And the rotator is the Yaesu G-1000SDX. No problems with either.
Photos if you want them.
Incidentally, mine is shown on the SteppIR web page, showing me building it,
with the tower tilted over, and in QST ads showing pine trees all around bent
over from the wet snow but the SteppIR is clean. The snow did not accumulate
on the slick fiberglass elements! Been up 3 years now - perfection.
