Aloha,
Norm Thompson, AH6E, now SK, built what is believed
to be the first (1937) beam antenna set up out here. Smokey
Thompson, AH6PQ has set up the start of a memorial
site for Norm; the site contains photos of this beam at
the Kauai High School (where Nose, KH6IJ also taught).
Have a look at:

Some neat photos of the rigs of the era out here also
are shown.
73, Jim KH7M
