[UK-CONTEST] 70 cms UKAC

[Ken]

2nd. time on 70 cm Eddie according to my Winlog, we had a QSO back in 
March this year.
I suppose that erecting a single 70 cm beam which can be carried to site 
fully assembled
isn't too difficult but for larger arrays for 4 & 6m fiddling with nuts 
& bolts in the cold & dark doesn't
have any appeal for me! Maybe a motorhome with built in pump up mast 
built in heating & genny
would be a different story. (I wonder what the F1 teams do with theirs 
when they retire them?)
