SteppIR f/b 180 test with "6V7K" by IV3YER

Hi. What is the antenna up to the steppir? 73

Looking at the Video near the end, he is about 54 wavering to 56 on the Back. So lets use 55 as average. On the front he is 59 +15db.

So (4 S-units) X (6bd) + 15db = 39db Front to Back. Pretty much exactly the 40db that steppir claims.

6db per S unit is correct. Assuming meter is calibrated correctly.

assuming 3 dB per s unit he was s9 then s4-5 so it only 13.5 dB approx f-b thats not great is it espically for a 4 element
