Back in the day I worked at the Hy Gain factory in Lincoln, NE. I packaged quite a few antennas. Packaging for these monsters was all done by workers hand packaging everything. Probably little has changed. That was about 1977 and don't know much about these other than we had some huge ones and then some bigger ones. CB craze was dying. I was a kid taking orders so I know a lot about the military antennas I helped make and very little about these but it sure is nice to see them up and working.
oh my god, it's is a ANTENNA!!!! not dude!!!! hehehehehe wow, congratulations!! carlos rivero 73's 51. 58.317 "a" operator!!!SAN CRISTOBAL.- VENEZUELA goods dx's
Hello..Thanks for your comment..I am in San Antonio, Tx..The antenna is just north of Austin, Tx..I understand the antenna is working very well..Are you a ham radio operator? If so, send me your call sign..73s, Mel
Hello..Thank you for your comment..No the antenna is not mine, I just helped put it together..The antenna belongs to Dave W5SV who lives just north of Austin, Tx..The antenna is quite large..The longest element is 46ft, the boom is 36ft & the antenna weighs roughly 160lbs..It was an interesting project to say the least..Thanks again for viewing & commenting..73s, Mel

@AlzbetaMadragana ...it's for ham radio only; nothingmore. Sorry, that kind of antenna won't help you.

I talked to a guy using one of these once. He had a very strong signal and dug me out of the noise very nicely!
