I was just actioning the latest set of updates and activation reports to go on http://sotasummits.co.uk this morning, when I came across this strange selfie photo. Now I am well aware of the “wearing spikes on his head” jibe I get in the other (non-official) SOTA Facebook group, but here there appear to be two spikes.
One is, as usual, my SOTA Pole attached to my rucksack. But I cannot work out for the life of me what the other narrower one is or how it got there! There was a threat of thunderstorms on the day which kept me vigilantly monitoring the weather, but no thunder was heard nor any static detected on the radio. Even so, this would be a ridiculously extreme case of one’s hair sticking up on end - so I don’t think it’s that!
I wasn’t carrying anything else attached to my rucksack and all was OK with the camera lens on my phone as evidenced by prior and subsequent selfies!
While typing this, I think I’ve solved it - but I’ll leave the post/photo on for amusement value as it does look like a bad fancy dress prop!
