Hi

This was posted to our obsolescent Yahoogroups list, but thought it 
deserves a wider audience.

Hi Bob

I recommend a visit to this small island (known locally as St Barts) if 
you get the chance, as we called in there a few years ago.  I didn't 
notice any signs of ham activity when going round the island. Not sure 
if you mean all of the French islands in the Caribbean count as just one 
country or whether each is a separate country? I thinknearby St Martens 
counts as two countries as half is French and the other half Dutch (you 
need a passport when crossing by sea but not by land!). I guess dxcc 
gets easier as more countries are added to the list?
