[UK-CONTEST] OH8X antennas

[Andy GD0TEP]

I guess what they're doing is pushing the boundaries of antennas on top
band, and I feel sure that what they'll have there will enable people like
me (with my bit of wet string for 160) to be able to work them.

No matter what the band, there will always be people (or groups of people)
who are willing to try adventuress antennas, either by group funding or a
suitable win on a lottery.

Either way, hats off to the guys for being so bold. 
(I'd like to see that it survives the WX when it gets bad in that location)

Men are like fine wine.   They start out
as grapes, and it's up to women
to stomp the crap out of them until
they turn into something acceptable
to have dinner with!
