Hey, that *was* my antenna farm for a while!

Glad they put that series back up -- it was removed for a while
because of overreaction to 9/11... it's not that well-built-out a
facility, there aren't may people there, and its away from things.

For V/UHF, these were the antennas we used:

For HF and below, I used an abandoned 1000 foot v-sloper pair. quite
effective on VLF -- I could pick up NDBs from Dallas there any time of
day -- or, for that matter, all the 14.1 MHz propogation beacons at
once.

As for the above dishes, well, they're run by a bunch of hams now:

I used to be on the board of that group. If I can find the time again
I may join back.
