We currently recognize islands, lighthouses, summits and battleships. Another award to chase! The LIDS will be happy to sponsor this one. As appropriate of the venue, rotten operating and stinky behavior should be the norm.Big Gun DXerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117380898428686666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628547599652727226.post-23501081960967882642010-08-25T11:41:49.300+01:002010-08-25T11:41:49.300+01:00If one can accept a plastic island as a DX entity,...If one can accept a plastic island as a DX entity, could one not extend the concept to include all sanitary landfills as onshore amateur radio countries? It would serve to democratize the traditionally elitist DXpeditionary ranks, allowing those of us without ready access to Zodiacs and Rent-a-Trawlers to transform our humdrum weekly dump run into something a little more diverting.Jeff K1NSShttp://www.dashtoons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628547599652727226.post-79793392177543543412010-08-24T14:54:37.592+01:002010-08-24T14:54:37.592+01:00We must speak up for Seaside Heights, New Jersey. ...We must speak up for Seaside Heights, New Jersey. As a callow yute we gamboled thereabouts, down to Island Beach State Park and up to Sea Girt, and we recall nothing but pristine sand, glassy surf and girls girls girls as far as our Foster Grants could resolve. Trash? We beg yuh pahwdon. Oh, the Jersey Shore flower might have been the busted Nedix bottleneck and the Jersey Shore Bird was Manasquan's Osprey, the Longest Bar in the World, but Paradise is more than the sum of its tar balls and petrifying sea robins garnished with styrofoam zest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628547599652727226.post-66278836440325733752010-08-20T19:44:31.994+01:002010-08-20T19:44:31.994+01:00This makes at least as much sense as a "count...This makes at least as much sense as a "country," I mean "entity," as Scarborough Reef. As for a topless beach, just what we need to see is a whole bunch of DXpedition photos of man boobs on overweight slob DXers and contesters. If I remember right, much or most of the Pacific trash is plastic, old 6-pack rings and milk jugs and one dollar water bottles, which won't make much of a "ground" but that probably won't stand in the way of Team Vertical making an assault on the "island." The location is perfect for giving U.S. East Coast and European DXers something else to whine about not being able to work through the West Coast Curtain. But here on the Right Coast we already have our own Trash Island -- it's called "New Jersey." OK, so it's not an island, at least it has salt water beaches. <br /><br />K1TN/2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
