The military and DoD use some humongous LPA's. As I recall, ours (Navy Comm
Station) were good for 8-32 mhz. FAA also uses them. They are extremely
large and use a pretty good sized tower section for a boom. I think Hy-Gain,
and maybe several others make them. Don't remember how long the booms were,
but had to be at least 60'. BIG bucks to buy one, I suppose big bucks also
to build one. I never got a close look at the rotators, but I'd like to see
one. These things had to weigh over a thousand pounds. If you build one I'd
like some photos!
