Here's a Wullenweber that is intact and I believe functional although not used like it was. It's coordinates are 54.028911,-132.065256 and it is quite visible in Google Maps. Of course it belongs to the Canadian military and is on Masset Island in Haida Gwaii .
I've not yet found them in a tour-giving mood. Chuck On 2/12/2012 10:13 PM, Gary K9GS wrote: > There was also one of these at the University of Illinois that was > decommissioned in the early 80s.
