How ’bout a 100′ aluminum tower, for about $1,000 dollars? To be found at the Black Hole, also known as the Los Alamos Sales Company. It looks like an interesting place.
There is a short five-part film showing the place and the character that owns it at the Coudal Partners web site.

And your neighbors think YOU have a big antenna! Many of you remember hearing the signals that used to come out of Russia that hams “lovingly” called the “woodpecker”. During the 60s and 70s, this over the horizon radar, which was aimed over the north pole to watch for any US missile launches, made quite a racket on the ham bands.
