The photos below are from Bob, K4UUU (formerly WF0E &
WE1L). His description of the antenna set up is as follows: "I
have created a panoramic pic of my Slinky Dipole. It is in a Bent Inverted
L Configuration. I have received great reports with this strange antenna.
Below you will see KA8ZBW's antenna farm. Looking at Bill's Antenna Farm starting at the top is a dual band antenna for 2 meters and 440. Then there is the tri-band HF beam on 10, 15 and 20 meters. Next is the side arm support for the G5RV. You can see the ladder line going down beside the tower and one of the dipole elements looks like a jet stream across the sky. Next on the lower left is the 2 meter Isopole for APRS. Finally just above the TV antenna on the lower right is the 6 meter Ringo antenna. Yes, there is quite a bit of local activity on 52.525!
Below you will see KC9EKU's new Broadband Hexagonal Beam that he constructed and recently installed!
Stephen's first contact was on 20 meters with Hoss, WA5ZAI during the Sunday, May 31st IOOK Net!
For more information about Stephen's new beam, see the article on page 30 in the March 2009 of QST Magazine
Below is KF8KK's antenna farm. On the top of the tower (below left) on the left is a dual band 2 meter and 440 vertical and on the right is a full sized 6 meter vertical. The tower was recently installed by the pole barn on his property near Empire, Michigan. There are ropes with pulleys set up to be able to raise and lower wire antennas at a later time. In front of the pole barn (below right) is a mast with an assortment of antennas that he uses in his workshop as part of the test bench set up.

OK! That is Jim's dream antenna farm! He does have hopes of putting up a tower this summer. We shall see. In the mean time, he has this stealth G5RV antenna which is one of the reasons why we have difficulty hearing him on Sunday mornings. The other reason is he sold his amplifier and has yet to replace it! Below is his stealth G5RV.
Below is Ron, W6KJ's antenna farm...
Below see WA5ZAI's antenna farm. 2/11/06
On the tower in the foreground we have a dual band UHF/VHF vertical and a 24 element UHF beam. On the tower in the background we have a dual band UHF/VHF vertical and 19 element VHF beam and a Mosley Pro 67 B 40 meter through 10 meter beam.
Below is another shot of Hoss's antenna system from a short distance away. This shot was taken on 2/25/09.
If you have a snap shot of your antenna farm, please send it to wa8zwj@iook.org and it will be included here!
