Even after activating around 240 islands, and having declined the offer to be the radio ham on the briefly successful summer 2005 activation, I wouldn’t now even dream of attempting this one…except by helicopter! Ben Fogle’s description of his aborted 2005 attempt is a “MUST READ”…as is a close inspection of intending participants’ insurance policies!
However, I must of course wish all who intend to try, the very best of luck…they will surely need it…The best outcome will be a safe and successful attempt, the worst does not bear thinking about…Don’t let the mere availability of funds tempt you…this is one for the very experienced, seriously fit…having helped on a successful Field Day on the local moors will NOT be a useful qualification…
As they say here in the Scottish Borders , “Safe oot, safe in”……Andr?Š

There has been activation from there before, not many of us got to work it, but I was one of the lucky ones. 73 and sure hope all the guys can get this rare one

Just to announce no ham radio activity is so far confirmed from Rockall. The above main post is a “heads up” should any interested amateur radio group be interested in going to this most remote island. If keen to go please contact Island Man or reply here.
