THE MOST EXCITING PART OF THIS EVENT AT THE TITAL MISSILE MUSEUM IS THE HUGE DISCONE ANTENNA THEY HAVE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED:

In the early 1960s, as part of the installation of the Base 571-7, the Collins Radio Company erected an absolutely beautiful discone antenna at the missile site. Discones are broadband antennas -- they are capable of radiating signals over a wide range of frequencies. The lowest usable frequency on a discone is established by the physical dimensions of the antenna. This particular antenna is something on the order of 80 feet tall, with an enormous crown, which means it will radiate effectively over a large portion of the HF spectrum. The RST Club has total use of this antenna from 5:00 AM until Midnight on Saturday, May 3rd!We will also set up a couple additional antennas for the QSO Party!

This antenna is currently featured on the ARRL website with photos included! http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2008/04/22/10058/?nc=1 This is VERY exciting!
