(Araucaria) RES: ] K1N - Navassa Island Update - January 31, 2015

[Leonardo]

Bom dia amigos.
Então teremos ao menos três operadores hoje no ar.
Serão dos maiores pile ups que teremos oportunidade de escutar, devido à
colocação de Navassa no Most Wanted, bem como a localização para nós aqui no
Brasil.

Se a propagação ajudar, como ocorreu ontem, 50 MHz. deverá ser a Banda mais
fácil para nós no Brasil.

Tenhamos todos, a paciência que é necessária nos primeiros dias de
DX-Pedition e, principalmente, o código de conduta de DX em mente. Quanto
menos QRM e mais usarmos o código de ética, mais facilitaremos o atendimento
de demanda dos operadores.

Este me sera um all time new one.
Boa sorte a todos.

73 from PP1CZ - Leo.

31 January 2015

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
>From The KP1-5 project
RE: K1N Navassa Island DXpedition

Navassa: We're on the way!

As you know, our plan was to begin helicopter trips this morning as soon as
USFWS gave us the go-ahead.  We hoped to get in as many as three trips in
today.

Because of the presence of a congressional delegation in Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, air services prevented the first of the two Navassa-bound USFWS
helicopter flights to take off until 1830z.  The first flight carried three
of the six USFWS personnel, so the helicopter had to return to Guantanamo
Bay and return with the remaining three USFWS people.  It's about an hour
each way so all of the above equals delay.

We received the call at 1830z with the OK to start our trips.  Our first
flight left a few minutes later at 1900z and should land about 2030z.  It's
a two-hour round trip between Jamaica and Navassa so we won't get but one
flight completed today.

The first flight contained infrastructure materials and three K1N operators:
George N4GRN, Glenn WØGJ and Jerry WB9Z.

Flights will resume at first light tomorrow and we should get most of the
material and men ashore tomorrow (Feb 1st).  Building the camp will be
time-consuming and labor-intensive but we hope be able to get one or two
stations on the air tomorrow evening.  It will be another day or so before
we're fully operational on all bands.

Because of the weather issues encountered this week by our supply vessel
"Electra", we decided offload all the MREs, gasoline and water in Jamaica
and transport it all via helicopter.  More trips, more $$ but in the
interest of safety.
