Keith Darwin asked "What is the biggest antenna you've ever used?"
Not on the ham bands (although a couple of times we did get on the ham bands
to communicate with a vessel in distress) the 524s and 527-2-Ns (if memory
serves correctly) were used for directional and 505-1-Ns for
omni-directional, with 10KW Collins transmitters, at the Coast Guard
Communication Station in Virginia. There was also a rotatable LPA but I
don't recall the designation. The receiver site, which was about 20 miles
away, used the 505s, 612/625 loop arrays, and a rotatable LPA. The LPAs
covered 4-30 MHz. I spent 4 of my 23 Coastie years at this station.
