I brought it up a long time IIRC, methinks. Certainly noticed it for obvious reasons.

How about a Ham Sandwich Island?

Better yet, write a wiki article about The Island of Misfit Hams. Given the go ahead by the high mucky mucks of the Island, I can do so. I edit Wikipedia articles.

I can see us all now, sitting around a campfire, someone on a rig somewhere. And chatting with each other on our laptops!

True story. Now that I am retired and cannot be subjected to the Uniform Code of Military Justice unless I am recalled to active duty, I say screw that prohibition. What I do on an island outside the jurisdiction of Uncle Sam is nobody's business but my own. I've had about enough of the heavy hand of government putting its hands on everything, including my family jewels when I go to the airport.

As Jim The Mask Carey said; try and STOP me!

Methinks the subject has come up before but I should remind you that if we have a DXpedition we should set up upwind of the sewage treatment plant aka the shit factory. It's known locally as Three Men In A Boat but we can refer to it as Little Boy In The Boat just to see what those stiff upper lipped English make of it. Now that would make an interesting picture QSL card...
