Some pictures of our brand new 3 elm Stepp-IR.

Everything is in, thanks Vine UK

Here you see the motors from the driven element with the ballun and the reflector motor.

(watch the different colors of the shaft with the gear on it. I explain later)

Here you see PA7NL.

Keep reading what to do with the wires and get something to eat.. Mmm Pizza ;-)

It's getting dark, time to connect the motors to the controller

We put up the tower and it all works great!!!!!

First Qso with W2YP s 9.15 in NY WOW...

We started at 20 mtr, swr 1:1 then to 10 mtr also 1:1 but

back to 20 again and the swr is sky high

then it happen!!!!

After putting the tower down and checking the driven motor we see.........????

Yes, the shaft is broken??..

This grey / white color is to soft.. now they use the black colored, seems to be much stronger!!

Well, a new motor is on the way and I'am waiting for it...

We took out the old one allready, the rest will follow....

This is no fun ;-(

After waiting a few days Vine send a new motor, here are some pictures of putting it all together again...

The new motor with the black shaft this time ....

Get it all back where it belonged

I replaced the Stepp-ir motor and it all works fine now Pffff

Let's use it and see how it works..

Now I tell you that the antenna is so GREAT !!!!

I like to thank Ron from Vine Uk for helping and understanding.
