[UK-CONTEST] UK-Contest Digest, Vol 43, Issue 42

[G3SJJ]

Oh I think so Geoff. A pair of 4el monos might do the trick, on the 
other I wouldn't want Reflectees to complain (as if they would!) so I 
could upgrade and buy a half sized G5. It will be sunspot max time so 
the band will be in great form.

Seriously, it is an interesting prospect. The International Watersports 
Centre is only a couple of miles away, so locating a station here would 
make sense We are still not sure if it will be open though. There has 
been talk of re-location as it may be too far north to be of any use to 
anybody as we are on the wrong side of Watford!
