KH5 - There has been a change of plans due to unforeseen events, and
only nine operators out of the twelve announced will participate
in the K5P DXpedition to Palmyra [425DXN 1275]. "The air charter
is provided by our host, The Nature Conservancy", the organizers
explain. "Earlier this year, the air strip was decertified and as
a result the aircraft type had to be changed to allow access to
the Palmyra. The aircraft selected will only seat 9 persons, which
is a major change of plans for the DXpedition. Several alternate
options were examined but were unsuccessful. It was with great
pain that three of the operators stepped back from the Team to
allow the DXpedition to proceed". The Team plans o n leaving Hawaii
for Palmyra on 11 January, and being active from 12 through 25
January. Bookmark the K5P web site (http://palmyra2016.org/) for
