KE9V Jeff's thoughts about the DXCC Honor Roll. I think it is time to let the 'younger' hams achieve the top award. Or do we have to wait until the current holders become SKs before making a change? #hamradio https://t.co/A8q18rnWHU @arrl
Here we have the famous Chuck Brady on Kingman Reef (N4BQW/KH5K).
He operated twice from there - in February 1998 (one day only) and again in May 2000 (for six days).

Jabal at Tair is a deleted DXCC entity in amateur radio. It's a volcanic island near Yemen.
It was included in the ARRL DXCC country list starting from November 15, 1945, but later removed and placed on the Deleted DXCC Entities list.

This is Bell Rock, 11 miles off the coast of the Scottish mainland.
Although it's not an IOTA, it is listed in the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society as reference SCO-020, although never "activated".
It's the world’s oldest active sea-washed lighthouse.
Col MM0NDX @ DX-World has tried a few times to go there and set up a very temporary ham radio station, but permission never granted on grounds of safety.
The rock is submerged by up to 16ft (4.9m) of water at high tide, with often fierce North Sea waves breaking over it. However, on a calm day, like the pictures show, a quick activation would be super cool ! Maybe one day!

RI1FJL & 160M
Despite the polar day, the team will attempt 160m from FJI, but not right away. Most likely closer to the end of the DXpedition, perhaps after August 25th.
