[Elecraft] Big antenna - Collins 13 ele Log?

[Sam Binkley]

Keith Darwin asked "What is the biggest antenna you've ever used?"

Not on the ham bands (although a couple of times we did get on the ham bands 
to communicate with a vessel in distress) the 524s and 527-2-Ns (if memory 
serves correctly) were used for directional and 505-1-Ns for 
omni-directional, with 10KW Collins transmitters, at the Coast Guard 
Communication Station in Virginia.  There was also a rotatable LPA but I 
don't recall the designation.  The receiver site, which was about 20 miles 
away, used the 505s, 612/625 loop arrays, and a rotatable LPA.  The LPAs 
covered 4-30 MHz.  I spent 4 of my 23 Coastie years at this station.
