I obviously meant to type 100m tower.

It is possible that the 80m beam was too high plus a 2 over 2 array is a
very good antenna. I am sure that they learned a lot about low band
propagating using this monster system. Radio Arcala is an extreme station
with a great mission of giving young hams a place to operate. It took
tremendous effort to assemble these antenna on top of the 300m tower, it
has to be heartbreaking for everyone involve to see it quickly destroyed.

I wonder how well the 160m yagi worked compared to a large vertical array.

It might not have been a very good performer, at least there was
a lot of rumors. They also had a vertical 4 SQ array and as I
understand it it was better.
Also there is questions about the 80m 5 el, they also had a 2/2
80m Yagi stack and it seems that they usually used that one.
