I notice that there are very few of the DX station operators contributing to
this thread.
I remember operating from VP5 in 1977....there was a demand for 80M
contacts......not easy to string up an 80M antenna there because of the real
estate.
We found a reel of stainless steel leader wire and hooked it on to a large
kite and started unreeling......ultimately strung up 330' and
proceeded to make a multitude of contacts until we lost the kite.
I do not remember receiving a single green stamp but all QSLs received were
answered faithfully.

I hope so. What better way to hatch new DXers?
I can just see it now - "Martha, hand me my binoculars. I think I see a
rare yellow-speckled DX-beeper. I'd know that call anywhere
- di-di-di-di-dit dah-dit dah-dit".

They do seem like an impressive job.
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? :-)
