Here's one for the history books. This was a VHF television receive array. Its purpose was to bring in stations from Denver, Colorado some 100+ miles (160+km) away. I forget now if it fed into a microwave system or cable network. Closest town of any size is about 20 miles beyond here.

These were called a "half-bolic" and there were quite a few constructed in the 1960s. The towers support a mesh of sorts consisting of horizontally strung wires placed every 1 ft (0.3m) apart.

The 'feed point' was simply a conventional yagi on a tripod mount placed in front of the reflector at an appropriate distance.

These photos were taken in early 2004. The array was dismantled later that year.
