Doubtful if you will find one in a scrap yard. When I worked for the
State Department and was stationed in Africa in the 80's we removed
the full size log from the top of the embassy in Harare, Ziimbabwe.
It sat around the warehouse there for a year or so until the embassy
decided they wanted to sell it at a surplus auction. I bought it for
ZS6P for less than $100 then he spent about $500 having it shipped
from Harare to Pretoria.
This was a huge antenna consisting of 3 each arms made for tower
sections about the size of Rohn 25g attached at the center on 10
indexing. Here is a link to a picture of one. The one on the embassy
did not have the tower but a pedestal. In any case - it covered from 3-30MHz.
