   In West Huntington, West Virginia is the Museum of Radio and Technology   
   and I saw Radio gear from Crystal Sets and   
   TRF (iirc Tuned Radio Frequency) Radios, to what is used on the Ham   
   Bands today in their Ham Shack, and (almost?) everything in between.   
      
   Here is a Link I found for their web page:   
   http://ohio.edu/people/postr/mrt   
      
   The Amateur Radio Antenna on their tower made my jaw drop when I got   
   out of the car and saw it.   
   It may be two antennas on the same Boom.???   
      
   I didn't take a picture of it, but did see a photo of it on a Link at   
   the web page.   
      
   I could see Nine Elements in the photo and some of the Elements had   
   Traps on them.   
      
   The photo of their Antenna is next to the bottom in the column of   
   pictures on the page You go to when You click on the line near the   
   bottom of their page that says:   
      
   ".Show me more pictures of the various display rooms at the museum."   
      
   and I think   
   clicking the line near the Photo of the building goes to the same URL.   
   I didn't check that out b4 sending this message.   
      
   WV8MRT is the Call Sign of their Ham Shack.   
      
   ... Ham radio and computers: how long can the wife stand it?
