In going with the current LONG thread. Whats the largest you've seen.
Here is mine. I cannot confirm it nor find it. But in California (near the Bay Area where I was stationed at Moffett) I remember seeing a Giant 3 elem beam with Rohn 25 as the mast. I believe a Ham Friend of mine said it was an 80m Shorty (But it just seemed to unreal for me) In Diego Garcia we used 3 Mono banders made from 2 Log Periodics the Comsta gave them. The 20m was 7 or 8 elems. Was huge. -- Rick Everett, Washington Remove THREAD to reply. |

Find your way to Jim Creek, and follow the signs to the Naval Station in the valley. Look up. (if the rain ever lets up) 2400 foot vertical with a 1 square mile top hat. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

I believe a Ham Friend of mine said it was an 80m Shorty (But it just seemed to unreal for me) I've been told that the gent who owns the Ham Radio Outlet dealership chain has a site located in the hills south of San Jose, and that it includes a 3-element 80-meter rotatable beam. I was told that the whole setup is managed by remote control - the owner lives elsewhere, and accesses the transceivers and antenna controls via a landline connection of some sort. Haven't seen it myself... it would certainly be impressive! -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

Often wondered what it was. 73, Frank |

A beast. http://force12inc.com/F12-specs-mag-r1-0.htm Dave Platt AE6EO w3rv |
