Navassa Press Release   

 

It is now about 4 weeks before K1N goes on the air.   The exact date of
departure from the staging area will be dependent upon a combination of
the date U.S. FWS transportation is available and upon weather windows.
It is looking like K1N will be QRV the first two weeks of February.

 

Most of the team have their bags packed and are ready to go.   Because
of the helicopter logistics, this will be a no-frills-minimum-comfort
operation for the team.   Meals will be MRE's.   The container has been
organized for a quick camp setup and quick radio/antenna setup to take
advantage of every moment.  It is estimated there will be two full days
of helicopter shuttles to get everything needed to start operations.
A small team of FWS personnel will accompany us, including armed Federal
Law Enforcement Officers.

 

Efficiency is not just for the team, but also for the DX community.   It
has been over 22 years since Navassa was activated and USFWS will not
allow another operation for at least 10 more years.  This is a ONCE IN
32 YEARS opportunity to work Navassa!   Everyone can make the most of
this opportunity by LISTENING to the operator's instructions and
following the cadence of the operator.    We will not be working all
modes on all bands, but limiting most bands to a specific mode, so that
we can work the pileups down to the last little pistol.   

 

Fund raising has been going well.   The team has contributed about half
of the total budget.   For those in the U.S., it is possible to make a
year-end tax-deductible donation, directed through the Northern
California DX Foundation.   See www.navassadx.com and follow the
instructions on the DONATE tab.

 

We have a Facebook page to watch and a Twitter feed (@navassa2015) to
follow along.
