largest Ham Antenna ever :)
 

In going with the current LONG thread. Whats the largest you've seen.
Here is mine.

I cannot confirm it nor find it. But in California (near the Bay Area
where I was stationed at Moffett) I remember seeing a Giant 3 elem beam
with Rohn 25 as the mast. I believe a Ham Friend of mine said it was an
80m Shorty (But it just seemed to unreal for me)

In Diego Garcia we used 3 Mono banders made from 2 Log Periodics the
Comsta gave them. The 20m was 7 or 8 elems. Was huge.

Hi Rick,

Drive 20 miles north east to Arlington. Find your way to Jim Creek,
and follow the signs to the Naval Station in the valley.

Look up. (if the rain ever lets up)

2400 foot vertical with a 1 square mile top hat.

Hmmm,

On reflection, that isn't in the Ham bands is it?

Well, it should be! That and Amateur Radar (and even AHAARP).

I've been told that the gent who owns the Ham Radio Outlet dealership
chain has a site located in the hills south of San Jose, and that it
includes a 3-element 80-meter rotatable beam. I was told that the
whole setup is managed by remote control - the owner lives elsewhere,
and accesses the transceivers and antenna controls via a landline
connection of some sort.

Haven't seen it myself... it would certainly be impressive!

I have tried several broadband routers, Linksys, D-Link, Belkin to use their
features to control WWW access in my home LAN. None of these allow you to
set restriction features within a time window. They allow you to block out
access at certain time windows by day of week, but they dont for example
have the flexibility to allow FTP access while blocking eveything else in a
time window.

Is there a prosumer level of router that has the added flexibility to set
access restrictions that are invoked within a certain time window? This for
a small home network behind a cable modem.

thanks

thats a good point. I really was looking for more plug and play. I can see
myself spending inordinate amout of time working the kinks out of a linus
version.

You could roll your own, using Linux. That would give you as much
flexibility as you want. Also, some of the Linksys models run Linux and
there are many patches available, to add funtion to the box.

thats a good point. I guess I can see enterprise systems having that time
based feature either.

Linksys has some "better" products that probably come out of the Cicso
takeover that have lots more features. IMO time restrictions are a
comsumer feaure and these are corporate products so you may be out of
luck. SMC makes some nice network products too.

For Linksys Take a look at this: (Scroll down)

Anybody seen that massive antenna farm, just off I95, on the north west
side of Trenton NJ? Often wondered what it was.

Force 12 has a 3 elemnent 80M beam in their catalog. 61 foot boom, 52
foot turning radius with 83 foot shortened elements. A beast.

I always thought the biggest ham antenna was supposedly the old W6AM
rhombic on Palos Verdes peninsula.

Hi Jim,

Any picture that requires a satellite view must qualify as BIG.
