I dare not to think what should happen if this cable breaks while working on my yagi.
With the tiltplate - karlock included - this will never occur.
I least, I will not stand under the contruction.

After about 6000 QSO with the Windom wire antenna, my Steppir starts a second life.
I changed the 6 fixing blocks (Wimo doesn't support Steppir, so there was a sold-out of the spare parts) and the cabling.

All works fine.
Thinking about the past, 3 levels of Yagi installation, 3 times less risc.
Level 1 : installing the KT34XA in 1999. Highest risc level.
Level 2 : installation of the Steppir by extending the fiber parts standing on the ground, but still under the construction
Level 3 : installation of a random yagi while standing on the ground, without any risc using the NN4ZZ tiltplate. Not cheap, but more effective than any life insurance.
Looking forward to this :
Let the FT4 contest party begin ! I expect a total change of contesting, with as a first step making RTTY contests obsolete.
