Log-Yagi. It's a short LPDA with probably a reflector and a couple of
directors? I believe I've seen one a while back. KLM had another monster
yagi that had a 24 foot boom I believe.

I don't like contesting either. Including Field day at times. I enjoy
the antenna setups and the equipment setups but when the 'contesting'
starts I leave. I return for the take down.  Sometimes I work
contests if I need to get a country that sounds interesting but I've
stopped doing that. I have more luck on 17 or 12m.
