Here are a few Pics of my Steppir 4 EL with 40/30 installation, to a TX-455 tower.

All of the antenna installation was done on the ground by myself.

Thanks for a great idea and product. The only thing I added was a couple of 12v winches.

Everything is working just fine.

Paolo I1ODP of Genova Italy built a TiltPlate for his 3el steppir at his summer country home. He is planning to build another one for the 4el at home. The tiltplate allowed him to build the antenna on the ground and without assistance.
