LARGE BEAMS IN CLEVELAND?
I have a question. Just east of the 271 around Cleveland, Ohio, are
three of the largest beam antennas I've ever seen. They look like tower cranes off in the distance, until you notice that they are GIANT rotatable beam antennas. I'm guessing the largest one had a 150' boom and was on a 300' tower. It may have been larger, as it was off in the distance (a couple of miles from the highway?) and hard to tell. Does anybody on the list know about this rather extreme installation? Is it a tower or antenna factory's R&D lab? Just wondering (Guy in Lockport Falsetti, NY, Sept 26, WTFDA via DXLD) ======================================== Anyone have any idea? dxAce Michigan http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

I remember going by The FAA facility in southern New Hampshire and they had some tall towers with gigantic log-periodics on them. Assuming possibly HF comm backup? Or maybe a really rich ham with a super contest station. Chuck Reti WV8A Detroit MI |
