ARCALA EXTREMES AT OH8X Finishing the 160m 3el YAGI Monster :)

Today is the shortest day of the year - only three hours of daylight and as
of yesterday

the Arcala Extremes antenna's last 160M element went up!

After working three weeks straight OH8SR and OH6RM went home for Xmas!

Please note the following technical details;

Tower height 100m

80M and 160M booms 60m

Five (5) 80M full-size elements

You note in the picture that OH8SR and OH6RM are working inside the boom.

Poor OH8SR - with 2nd 160M element he was working in a total fog without
seeing the

ground for 7 hours! He seemingly enjoy working inside of the boom!

The upper slip-ring has such diameter that you can drive thru with Juha's
large Lexus!.
