  • First of all there is little directivity on 80 meters, is it worth doing this for a db or less?

    Mine is bigger than yours hmh?

  • EW8RU- VEEERYYY GOOD!!!

  • Where is your qth?

  • These arrays were used as antenna arrays for HF jamming applications, this is why they can be rotated. This way they could cover certain areas. Phasing control of elevation angle was also achieved. Powers used flushed parts of eastern Europe from "unfriendly" signals, such as VOA's and RadioFreeEurope's. The transmitters are in poor condition now, but they still work.

  • I hope I can fit all this in my backyard

  • That is just sick!!!! Awesome!!!!

  • QRP on .00000001 uW lol

  • IZ BIGGER THAN IN THE LAST VIDEO!

  • Very interesting! Long life to HF broadcasting!

  • Interesting!

    One of my first questions is: Why does a 'broadcast' antenna need to be rotatable?

    Or is this just a feature left over from the array's less-than-domestic-purpose history?

    Be interested to know about that.

  • This is a DREAM ANTENNA!!!!!!! I just imaging this "little antenna" in my backyard, with 1500 watt. AAYYYYY QUE DOLOR ........

  • this is small one . The big one isn`t move but is 160m high and 2MW input check my other video :)

  • Hows your swr lol :)

  • Well,I had two bigsticks with a co-phaser once :) and a Courier Gladiator with an 80w Afterburner.n a slider.Now thats bad ass.:) D-104s rock.

  • I want one!

  • what the heck is a HF Broadcast antenna ??????

  • I want one!

  • Im and IT technician and our wireless networks work on 2.4ghz and 5 ghz and when you pump up the wattage for long distance networks, you have to be careful not to get to close to the antennas because they can cook you. I was wondering how these antennas were at that. I understand they run at much lower frequencies but still... 1MW

  • i wonder if my CC&R will be ok with that ?

  • If I would win the power ball or mega millions I will have something like this or at least a Big Bertha with several log periodics on it yell just dreaming but you never know!

  • Wow,what a monster!!!

    Using 1w and this is fair enough :>)

  • Where the chuffin eck is that thing =O !? I WANT ONE !!

  • =O where the chuffin eck is that thing !! I WANT ONE !!!!!

  • Just amazing!

  • God Dammit.. Another monster...Bet you needed to read instructions to assemble this massive beauty..Let me measure my back yard and see if I can fit one in..73's KB7ZJF

  • Holy heck! slap my bottom and call me judy, that thing is massive!

  • @feared7 that's just what Helen said when she saw it Judy. I'm pretty happy with it.

  • o really :) just like me in a back yard of my flat :)

  • verry small antenna :)) i have more big this

  • I've got one of these on order.

  • Is this an antenna of Radio Bulgaria?

    I hear this broadcasting station well in Japan.

    Still, this seems to be a missile base...Excellent!

  • oh lord! This is a metal monster !

  • BIG MONEY!!!!!!!

  • That is bigger than the building i live in...

  • What the hell with the "sport"?Are you still ham or MW broadcasting station? It's f****g impressing,true,but what will you do when you do ALL NEEDED? Envy, but rather sad.73, Tomasz.

  • Impenetrable English, mate.

  • I want one!!!!

    Very good just imagine the look on the xyls face *priceless* lol 73's de vk3ftim

  • mamma mia....!!!

  • mia mamma

  • Wow - Nice antenna! That's just what I need!

  • I can listen to Radio Bulgaria in my mobile with good copy. Excellent!!

  • Wow that's awesome. Why does it rotate? It seems to me that it would cause loss of signal like loss of air from an oscillating fan? What are some other bad boy antennas to look at?

  • Very impressive; I see a similar antenna feed to each dipole as on the old Russian 'Woodpecker' array, and that was my first thought when I saw the 'business' side with the many dipole radiating elements of this large array!

    Thanks for the vid. ... de WB5WPA

  • WOW!Imagine that in your backyard.A thing of beauty to us hams but what will the neighbours say HI HI? Dont think I could convince the xyl to lay out thecash for that HI.73,Don,VO1H

  • This is the small array only 70m high but is rotaiting 360`. In this facility there are meny big antenas and array. Lots of irons, copper, wires and steal :) There is 64 matching dipols antena in 180m higt this is very impressive + 1MW power output. Really the great HAMRADIO AMATEUR dream. 73 from Bulgaria :)

  • This looks like Radio Bulgaria's antenna array.

    Nice video :-)

    gregW:-) OH2FFY

    **See my Ham radio videos on YouTube**

  • Yes that is corect :) This is broadcast antena of Radio Bulgaria :)

  • @LZ2RBB hello how long can the signals reach in that one?
