Biggest antenna ever constructed?

As a single antenna, probably.

But as an 'effective' antenna what about that line of dishes on tracks
near Cambridge that ISTR is equivalent to a dish 3 miles across!

Even bigger-effective-aperture telescope systems use very-long-
baseline interferometry to combine the signals from multiple receivers
spread out all across the planet, and even on satellites. There are
some VLBI systems using satellites in earth orbit, and I believe that
there are plans (or even systems in existence) which use satellites in
solar orbit.

The angular resolution you can get from these systems is sorta scary.

If you exclude various multi dish arrays then the biggest is Arecibo radio
telescope in Puerto Rico.

Arecibo remains the largest fixed antenna.
The largest steerable is DSN... 70 m
ham : probably the low band beam used by JARL ?

God must have missed a design principle in electromagnetics. The moon is
a convex surface more suited to scattering than concave which is more
suited to focusing ... or is it the other way around?
