I thought everyone would be interested in this response re big antennas...
I'm still collecting inputs - keep 'em coming. So far all the big ones have
been domestic (except for TI4CF's 75M array of 4 separate 4 element quads...).
Aren't there any big antennas outside of the U.S.A.??
Of all the antennas at AA6TT, I think the only one likely to be the biggest on
its band is the 6M array. He probably gets TVI reports from Canada with that
thing!
Thanks for the info, Bruce.

Doug-
I don't think that Bill has access to internet, so I'll
enter his antennas into the contest. The biggies at
AA6TT include:
4-element full-size 40 mtr yagi at 200 feet
8/8/8/8 on 10 meters on 180 foot tower
8/8/8/8 on 15 meters on 180 foot tower
6/6/6 on 20 meters on 180 foot tower
10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10 on 6 meters on 180 foot tower.
Coming soon: 3- or 4-element on 80 meters on 200 foot tower.
73, Bruce AA5B
