[TowerTalk] Commercial Antennas

[Tim Makins, EI8IC]

I wonder if some radio club has ever borrowed HAARP for a weekend, and put
it on the Ham bands ? I've occasionally heard of Hams doing this with other
big antennas, such as broadcast rhombics and curtains, and the huge 990'
dish at Arecibo.

I wonder if anyone has any stories about Hams borrowing HUGE antennas ?
