"Just because you're unable to use Google Maps/Earth well doesn't mean that I'm wrong."
OK I'm unable to use Google Maps/Earth, I don't know any other way than type in "Ham Island, Alaska" so if you know some other way I'm interested in learning. Did I say you're wrong? Sorry if I did, it's just that I have a head like a sieve and CRS/CRAFT doesn't help.

It sounds like a load of fun, or a horrible disaster waiting to happen. Either way, I bet it would be quite an adventure. If I had time to save some shekels, I think this would be one of my bucket list trips.

Its a goal of mine to do a DXpedition, even an IOTA trip. The travel and logistics, along with all the holdups and potential problems would be worth the payoff of putting something new on the air.

I'd rather rent out some Caribbean QTH for a week. Who cares if they're on every CQWW, give me a neverending supply of mojitos, pileups, and twentysomething Dutch/French tourists.Originally Posted by N7YA

That sounds like fun... and I know that there are quite a few shacks available (PJ2T comes to mind, for one)
I take it that we will be leaving our spouses/significant others at home, then, if we're also crusing for young touristas?

There is a town called Ham Lake, MN.
There is a large lake called Ham Lake nearby, with a large island.
Oh, wait, it's called "Temperance Island". Never mind.

We did an Alaska cruise tour this year, so now I might be able to afford a trip to Grand Island, Nebraska, or the Prairie Island Casino if I don't gamble. I'm only 8 miles from Pine Island, MN, but there's no island there at all - it was once a bunch of pine trees on the prairie. And, ever since the A+W there closed down, I have not had a reason to go there.

That's a shame about the A&W, I remember going there when it was "old-skool" like the one in Waseca used to be...
