I found this video today (it’s been on YouTube awhile) offering more technical info on the #ANFLR9 #ElephantCage #antenna than you’ll find anywhere without doing a lot of reading. The presentation includes this graphic, which is the first I’ve seen comparing the size of an #ElephantCageAntenna to the size of the U.S. Pentagon: https://youtu.be/4sgAGWPNSUQ

If you were a #MorseInterceptOperator working alongside #ANFLR9 “elephant cage” antennas you might like this #MorseInterceptor #ChallengeCoin - available to purchase from the designer on a Facebook group for former military #MorseCode Operators. If you were a USAF #1N2X1 / #207X1 (or the equivalent in one of the other branches), and this is something you’d like to add to your collection, PM me and I’ll get you the info you need to find the designer / seller of these coins. ~ #DittyBopper
