There was another 3 el full sized, yes.


I climbed the tower in November 1990 to change the 3 el
80m toy to CW from SSB.
No relays. 1/2 inch tubing, ironsaw, powerdrill etc..


The toy was cranked up to 40 meters at PJ9A.

Boom was mid-size aluminum tower (triangle shape),
centers of element were lighter aluminum tower (triangle).


Year 1991 OH6RM hoisted a multielement quad for 80
but it crashed down due to a direct thunderstrike
or associated storm or a combination.


All that happened on PJ2 soil, not in cold Finland.


Both 80m full size antennas were prototyped in
Finland during our summertime.


73,
Jukka OH6LI
