Good evening Frank, I know that Stan and I will be writing an article about
the whole process of designing and equipping the station which took about a
year and a half. Over and above the photos, vidios, and the article, we
haven't discussed it. I will certainly mention the idea to Stan to see what
he thinks. I know right now, he is extremely busy. In addition to
constructing the station, he and his wife are soon to begin a very large
addition to their new home. Among other things, they are adding a second
story, with a spiral staircase up to the shack, along with an elevator and
dumb waiter. They are also going to extend the whole rear of the house by
25 feet. I'll see what I can do.

Alan, when there is more progress do you think we may get a podcast or a re=
cording of an audio tour of that super station? Sounds impressive.

Mike, operating Stan's station via remote is still a work in progress. It =
may be that I won't be able to control the SteppIrs, but every band from 80=
thru 6 meters will have multiple stacks, many of which are not SteppIrs.
For example, one of the rotating 200 foot towers will have stacks of 4 six =
element 20 meter monobanders as well as 4 three element 40 meter monobander=
s. So, even if I don't use the SteppIrs myself, I will have plenty other a=
ntennas to use. Since SteppIr is working with us on the project, they may =
be able to figure out a way for me to control their yagis via remote. I wi=
ll keep the list updated. We have 4 towers up now and the first of the 200=
foot rotating towers should be up by Christmas. Great progress has been m=
ade so far.

Alan:
Glad to hear ya back posting to the list. When you get the remote hams chea=
t sheet, can you forward it along to me?
I guess this is the remote method chosen? An Elecraft of sorts or another
TS-990 being controled by remote hams? How will you control the steppirs an=
d other antennas along with the amps if being employed?
