As a single antenna, probably.
Arecibo remains the largest fixed antenna.
The largest steerable is DSN... 70 m
Jodrell Bank is 250 foot or 76.2m.
Arecibo is steerable.
Actually it is slightly steerable...just over about 15 degrees of
vertical, and the antenna gain drops off, quickly as the the angle
leaves vertical. This is due to the movement of the Feed Horn
Assembly offcenter on its Trolly Wire Supports.
