Tom,

I'm sure you remember the 4 element KLM 80 that we had installed at K2GL back in the early 80's at 200'.  It was featured in the film by KU2M called "To Win the World" and regrettably, it only lasted 5 weeks in the air.  We worked the CQ SSB and CW contests with it, and the next week it fell apart.

It was replaced by a 3 element Telrex that was much more durable, but neither antenna used full size elements.

I think an OH has a full size 80 up too.

73,
Bob N5NJ
