The long distance runs were voiding part 15 FCC rules. The FCC part 15 rules say that an antenna cannot be modified unless it is accepted - meaning it's passed testing. No home made antenna will ever past muster with the FCC. Ever.
So, while the idea of a long throw is not new, doing it legally is!
