Intellgence agencies when they did HFDF used huge antenna arrays
called CDAAs (Circular Disposed Antenna Arrays). They were also known
as Wollenwebbers (presumably after an inventor).

Is 'Wollenwebber' really 'Wollenweber', which I reckon could be
translated as 'wool weaver'? Possibly a graphic description of the
antennas.

The actual spelling is Wullenweber. I have a photo of the HFDF Station in
Masset, BC where I was Operations Officer at one time -- you can find it
if you go to my website at http://members.shaw.ca/finkirv4/links.htm

If you include all the masts, guys, antenna elements, and such it could
be construed as a masterpiece of weaving.
