Your training will be complete young grasshopper after you key down the largest strap the world has ever seen on 75 meters.

Spotted this one on QRZed, it's unreal the things money will get you. A whole lotta money that is.

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... Shocked

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.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

That is a pretty great picture however. Giant 200 foot six sided freestander with a 5el yagi on it bigger than most peoples' neighborhoods.

What do you guys think this beauty cost, half-a-mil? More? Less?
