No, It was BMEWS. Each of the three antennas was 165' x 400' and weighed
2 million pounds. Operated at 425 mhz with 5 megawatts.

Hey Larry,
How about a missle detection radar with waveguide the size of air
conditioning ducts, klystrons changed with an overhead crane, a
capacitor bank for the pfn filling a 10' x 10' x 12' room and an antenna
larger than a football field. We had moon bounce from that one also.

Was that Dewline? Lotsa guys died from trying to get warm standing in
front of the fixed antennas cooking from the inside out.

I bet it had no trouble seeing the moon. But, alas, we would have had
trouble fitting it on a DDG...(c;
