Wow... three things come to mind… A lot of land, a good amount of money and a ton of blessings from all that hard work. Thanks for sharing this great video.
@@gfinnstrom It really does but it's definitely cool! I was taken back to the 80s movie War Games or better yet a James Bond movie. Yep a lot of money tied up in that room not to mention the maintenance schedule for all of the stuff including the antenna farm.
Wow, lots of planning, effort, and dollars into that station. The radio is only as good as the antenna network it's attached to it, and there's a lot of antennas there to attach to it. Nice video.
Beyond impressive. Thank you!

Well this just took the wind out of my sails. I was feeling pretty good about my Rohn push up poles for dipoles and my DX Engineering 43' all band vertical. My station has a "Long way to go!" Hi LOL 73
Looks almost like an amateur version of a Naval Communication Station. "Amateur" is a bit of a lie of sorts; very professional in execution even if used for amateur purposes. Wow! 73 de AE5ZX
This proves that Amateur Radio like most things is controlled by $$$ MONEY $$$ and the little guy doesn"t have a snowballs chance in hell of winning a contest total BULLSHIT. We put these people up on pedestals like some kind of gods.
Obviously lots and lots of money have been involved. The whole place looks like a military communication centre, forget the word "radio amateur", there is nothing amateur about this station. A great desire to "show off" to the world, that's it
You did a great job with the video, too bad all that technology is wasted on hams lying to each other about signal reports and exchanging useless information. Great idea about the wall warts and linear power supplies.
