Thanks to Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) for this fascinating tour of the massive Collins HF Discone Antenna at the Titan Missile Museum.  While not a simple HF antenna by any means, it remains a fascinating part of our Amateur Radio history. The video may encourage you to build your own discone antenna (perhaps for VHF and UHF operations.). If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbJN9QiOuHU Here are some comments from Kevin (KB9RLW): An amazing place and a unique and equally amazing antenna that you can hook up to!
