A beautiful picture of the DB42 MonstIR Pro Yagi is on the front cover of CQ Magazine Japan’s March 2012 issue. Our distributor for Japan, Mr. Yukio Tosa of BeamQuest (www.beam-quest.com) does a great job for us in getting the word out regarding our products for that region. BeamQuest has been distributing SteppIR products for over 10 years and we appreciate his hard work on behalf of our company.

INTRODUCING OUR NEW VOIP PHONE SYSTEM!

JohnM — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:49:48 +0000

We have switched over to our new phone system and it is all up and working!

The new system will give us much more flexibility and it will be much easier to get in touch with us via phone.

On to the next project – inventory control system, along with the brand new website integrated shopping cart!

Thanks -

John Mertel WA7IR

NOTE: We had some problems with the phone early this week, and identified the issue as a bad modem. New modem is on the way and will be up and running soon!

Special Thanks to Brian Moran, N9ADG!

Now that the feedback on the new website is coming in (and it’s all positive), we would like to extend our thanks to Brian Moran, N9ADG, who prodded us, cajoled us and finally set the initial site up FOR us! Brian has been a great resource for me personally while I have continued to add to the site, so we are officially shouting out a THANKS BRIAN!

BigIR Mark IV UPDATE

JohnM — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:30:34 +0000

We recently announced the new enhancement to the BigIR vertical, which created the Mark IV series.

The Mark IV utilizes an aluminum reinforcing system that greatly strengthens the base of the unit – a MUST for those that reside in high wind, or high snow/ice load areas of the world. All new purchases include the BigIR Mark IV modifications.

For existing BigIR Mark III customers, an upgrade kit to the Mark IV is available for retrofitting and can be ordered through the online shopping cart. CLICK HERE to order. Note: If you have the original style vacu-formed EHU housing, the Mark IV upgrade kit works fine – however, the housing is not changed as part of this upgrade.
