DARC OV P08 DXpedition to the Isle of Man in 2009
With the weather being on the bleak side, a group of operators from Germany descended on the Isle of Man and booked themselves into Eary Cushlin.

They brought with them a monster vertical in the form of a GAP Voyager DX (below) and a Spiderbeam, and home made Dual Delta Loop to cover all bands available for the upcoming contest.




The poor guy from OV P08 with the neck brace is Gunter Hering (DK1SG), obviously trying to get out of any heavy lifting, next is Markus Wagner (DO5MZ) and the always funny Peter Herring (DL1SPH) and finally good old Erwin Kleiner (DL6SBN).



This time we get Bernd Bross (DH1SBB), and again Markus Wagner (DO5MZ), in the middle of the picture is Guenther Haug (DG1SBU) standing next to Gunter Hering (DK1SG), Erwin Kleiner (DL6SBN) and finally Peter Herring (DL1SPH).


These photos do not really show just how big this antenna actually is, it will certainly take the entire team to get it standing upright.











































All in All, a successful start to the DARC OV P08 DXpedition to the Isle of Man.
