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

Off the coast of Dover there's a sandbank called Goodwin Sands. It's a
shifting and treacherous sandbank that lies just below the surface of the water
and has claimed many shipwrecks over the years.
Goodwin Sands only rises above the sea at a couple of very low spring tides
each year.

I have QSL's from the 1994, 1995 and 1997 operations. The 1994 operation
