Re: [amsat-bb] Largest cross-yagi ever? on 10 meter or CB
Based on N2OTO's photos, and assuming the Gondola is 6 feet high, the elements of the beam appear to me to be 8 feet on a side. That makes it a big 10 meter or CB antenna! OOPS, I see now he already figured that out. Nevermind... Bob

I believe it is used for US NAVY MARS ops.
Some countries use 27 MHz for maritime coms.
