@mattblaze I love this photo on the IEEE Canada website that shows one of those antennas being hoisted next to installation crew. They're huge! ieee.ca/en/tcms/

black and white photo from 1956. crew maneuver a large "horn" microwave antenna that is being hoisted up a tower in a snowy plain surrounded by pine trees. two people push it from the ground, while another person who's standing on the tower attempts to grab it. it is 4-5 people tall, easily dwarfing the crew.
