Looking for a New Rover Antenna?

How about this one:

It might take a few guys to carry it, but it looks like it does a good job at reducing multipath.

I ran across this in a reference Giovanni Sella made in a CORS webinar recording that I checked out this morning. He mentioned one of the foundation CORS in Florida that's co-located on a site with an experimental CORS antenna. He said there were some interesting photos of that, so I looked it up. This is FLF2. From the other photos, it appears to be a Topcon antenna element powered by a Javad receiver.

Cant really see the perspective or scale of the structure, it is either very large or very small:-D

Here's another clue: although the 4-character ID of this station is FLF2, the station name is FL FOUND 2 BIGANT.

There must be a story here. How is it that you were at the site?

I took part in the assembly of this antenna. It is about 3m in diameter an weights more than 200 kg, we spend about 10 days setting it up.

Idea behind it was to make an antenna which mitigates multipath better than chokering.

I bet that thing talks to aliens. They just want you to think it's a CORS station.
