Ham Island

[NQ6U]

By accident, I just discovered the perfect place for the IOMH mass eyeball QSO we've been threatening to inflict upon an unsuspecting world: Ham Island.

Ham Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ham Island is an island in the River Thames in England. It was created when the course of the river was diverted, via a cut, to avoid a weir and provide a navigable route through to Old Windsor Lock.

Today land use is divided between 37 privately owned dwellings. The original houses on the island, now almost entirely rebuilt in a more luxurious style, were quite modest- many holiday homes. The island is also the site of a water treatment plant. This locality is referred to in Three Men in a Boat when, passing through the lock, they spy Windsor Castle in the distance. This trip is still popular today.

Ham Island is some distance away from the London suburb of Ham in Richmond upon Thames.

There's a sewage treatment plant there—how appropriate is that?

I've had several inquiries over the years from the contact form about our association with Ham Island.

I've had several inquiries over the years from the contact form about our association with Ham Island.

How do you answer them?

But you asked and I answered your question with a question and then you answered your own question. See how smart I am? Look at me! I am smart!

Kind of old news.

Islanders who have been around here a while knew that Todd promised to do a DXpedition from Ham Island. I am not sure whether or not he actually did it.
