[Elecraft] Big antenna - Collins 13 ele Log?

[David Wilburn]

I know the FAA facility out on Long Island has a large periodic antenna 
on a tower.  Not too high up.  I have seen similar antennas on other 
government and non-government agencies I have run across in my travels.

I was doing some work at the US-West / Qwest labs in southwest Denver, 
and noticed some nice big antennas on its roof.  Assumed it was a club 
station, but was not able to find out about it during my two weeks there.
