Dave! I have QSL's from the 1994, 1995 and 1997 operations. The 1994 operation did not count for DXCC, and you are correct about the reason for it.

Just thinking back to 1995 for a moment, didn't the ARRL disallow the first BS7 expedition because the operators had artificially created land above high water with scaffolds - and then the second operation was allowed because they perched on the rocks? Or did I get that wrong. I wonder if they built nests and laid any eggs? :-) Dave G0OIL Gary Danaher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nobody else has mentioned this so I feel the need. How did those guys get those platforms erected so quickly? They appear to be quite sturdy. Wonder if they borrowed somebody's back yard, had a dump truck full of rocks dropped off, and practiced doing this a few times. Ya' know this wasn't very easy, even if they were able to wade hip deep next to the rocks. If somebody could get the actual dimensions and forms of the rocks, the next trip out they could have foam-fitted platforms to just drop over the rock and start working! Ah, the dream....
