Where are the pics of the cooling pond?! Title: Re: My mauls' bigger than your maul Post by: K1JJ on March 12, 2006, 08:39:31 PM Kan, 7J4AAL says he owns the industrial complex where the 180' tower and full sized 5el Yagi on a 120' boom stand. [complex not shown in the picture]
It weighs 2800 pounds alone - with a 780 pound rotator. It's funny to see all of his employee cars parked around this tower with the risk of ice falling... :o It's probably the biggest rotary Yagi in the world, including commercial and gov't stuff. On 75M between Nov-Jan, he is usually 15db louder than any other JA. Tremendous signal. The Japs are as crazy as we are.

Giant 200 foot six sided freestander with a 5el yagi on it bigger than most peoples' neighborhoods.
