> The K1N DXpedition team has only been home a few days, but we are slowly
> recovering from what was a difficult project.  It was over too soon
> considering that it took 15 years to gain permission, plan and execute the
> DXpedition. The DX world is very complimentary of our results...140,000
> QSOs and over 30,000 uniques.  This is especially impressive when you
> consider that we had only had 14 active operators, 7 HF radios, 5 small
> amplifiers and only 4 small beams. Many of our QSOs were made barefoot and
> with dipoles hanging very high on the lighthouse on Navassa. This is what
> we called a MVC (Minimum Viable Configuration) necessitated by the use of
> helicopters for primary transport.
>
>
>
> We have many to thank. The USFWS for allowing our operation after 22 years
> off-the-air. The terrific team of USFWS officers and biologists who
> accompanied us and became part of our team. Our sponsors, both equipment
> and financial, our team of radio pilots, our helicopter crew of Danilo,
> Nelson and JC, the staff of Moxon's Beach Club, the staff at Ian Fleming
> Intl. Airport and our new friends, the Haitian fisherman at Navassa. When
> we departed, they received gifts from us of gasoline, clean water,
> clothing, food and other items. Hopefully, this will help them in their
> difficult and dangerous existence.
>
>
>
> Lastly, we want to recognize and thank a group of 1543 DXers. These people
> heard and responded to our plea for financial support prior to our
> DXpedition as this when the majority of our considerable expenses
> occurred.  Last night, these special and generous people had their QSOs
> with K1N uploaded to LoTW (logbook of the world). This service was NOT a
> condition of their contribution, but comes as a completed surprise.
