Hi again!
It did not take many minutes after I sent the e-mail below, until I got a
question
regarding my QSO's during the 2007 expedition: "Did I work them again and
therefore may have made anyone else miss a QSO?" Answer is YES and NO.
I had worked previous expeditions to BS7H on 40 and 20 meters, so I did NOT
try to work again on those bands, but I worked them on 30 and 17 meters.

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.

Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] Those scaffolds
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? :-)

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....
