OH8X: 160M 3 ELEMENT YAGI

Visiting OH8X super station. The 160m full sized yagi comes with a 71 meter long boom!
SRAL HAMIWAARA 2009-kesäleirin yhteydessä vierailu OH8X-asemalla.
Tässä videossa tutustutaan 160m 3-el yagiin. Puomin pituus 71 metriä!
Antenni kääntyy myös tässä videossa!

I have no idea what they are saying, but they are saying it at the bottom of one giant antenna with one giant electric rotator. Awesome!

[@supertruckertom]

Looks like a 100 HP electric motor for the rotator. They are a Amateur Radio Club in Finland. This is the contest Station main antenna. It has 3 elements on the 160 meter band. Search OH8X on you tube.

Где-то читал, что она уже крякнула. Ну конечно надо отдать должное труду этих ребят и сколько средств и сил они положили в этот проект, молодцы!!!

[@varava6779]

прекрасная антенна, а еще лучше команда радиолюбителей и их спонсоров, но допущена одна очень большая ошибка... расчеты делали конструкторы, очень точно все посчитали, а здесь надо было закладывать запас прочности на ураганные ветры, которые бывают в тех широтах... сэкономили.... в результате все рухнуло. Очень жаль.

HOLY SHIT! LMAO! That's unbelievable! I would fly out just to see that thing. Amazing!

[@kikililac]

[@Alanrpw]

Nobody will be able to see this antenna now, it collapsed during last storm... too bad, it sure looked great!

[@KlimovoMan]

so sad.. it was great construction!

[@itchycam]

Seeing this and the JO1DZA 160 beam, it is easy to understand why these two "losing" nations of WWII became the self-sufficient high tech nations of today.

[@zoolkhan]

which losing nation you say this is? this is Finland. (Not germany) Whether we lost the war is debatable... we kept the russkies out of helsinki, did we not?

[@Tjita1]

Do they rotate the entire tower?

[@FelixTheHouseFreak]

Wait so the entire tower turns? In another video it appears that the entire structure spins not just the top. But i saw guy wires there, how do they allow the tower to turn?

[@alexandr2090]

Это просто пиздец. Это антенна не антенна а одно из чудес света

[@zoolkhan]
