Default SteppIR's new 40-30M dipole add-on

The Steppir looks more like linear loading of a dipole. Each side of the
dipole bent back on itself to give the effect of the full length without the
sides having to be 33 feet long.

The Moxon uses a driven element and a reflector - a 2 element system. The
ends are not folded back but go at a 90 degree angle. A Moxon looks like a
loop but the ends at the sides are separated by a calcuated distance.

We ran a 40 meter Moxon at Field Day and it was a very fine antenna.
