The world famous Barry Goldwater, K7UGA, radio station antenna system
was taken down on Feb 6, 1999.  This station, located on a hill in
Paradise Valley, Arizona made tens of thousands of phone patches during
the Vietnam War.

The tower is a HyGain Model RP-75H Rotating Pole Assembly 77' tall and
is turned by a
1/4 HP electic motor.

The antennas are HyGain LongJohns, 10-15-20 and 3 el full size 40m
antennas, very big and very heavy.
