Rockall - NOT amateur radio

Many years ago I had a website about this isolated islet in the north Atlantic. It was even referenced in a book on shipping areas! That was years ago.

It was inhabited briefly some years ago by a British explorer, but often storms can batter it and crash right over the top. I think the British "annexed" it in 1955 to claim fishing and oil rights. Many nations dispute ownership. Really it is just a small rock miles from anywhere.
