[Dx-qsl] Confirmed this week

Folks,
Joke aside with your 'Scarborough Fair' tales.
Seriously, does anyone know if Scarborough reef still 
exist? Global warming may have already done its deletion.
I recall one of 'VK9 Reef' DXpedition in 2001 which 
had to make reconnaissance mission first, to make sure 
the terget reef is still in existence.
The second question is DU/BY sovereignty dispute. 
Has it been resolved?

Up until 2000, I could have WALKED to Scarboro(ugh) from my home in 
the Beach, along the 501 streetcar route in Toronto!
Funny thing, when I first got my Canadian license as a pimply-faced 
teenager in 1979 (when I had HAIR, damnit), I was also new to 
Toronto, having lived in Montreal all my life before that. When I saw 
the DXCC list of "countries" I could work I saw Scarborough and 
figured "what's the big deal with that" and shrugged it off!
Cheers,
