[Elecraft] Big antenna - Collins 13 ele Log?

[Ken Kaplan]

Dave (et al):
I pass that large array (at the FAA, LI MacArthur Airport)
every day on the way to work. I have been wondering for years how to get 
my K2 hooked up to it. I have friends who work there, but alas, they 
have no good connections..hi.
