information can be found at www.tx5w.com.

January to 3 February. He will operate CW only on 160, 80 and 40

KP1 - On 20 December the K1N team reported that "progress in
preparations for a late January landing on Navassa is coming along
very well". A container is being shipped from Atlanta to the
staging point in the Caribbean. The exact dates for the expedition
will be known at the end of December.
Bob, N2OO is the chief pilot and has organized a worldwide team to
collect reports and suggestions from the verious target areas
(click on the 'Our Team' tab on the DXpedition's website to
identify your pilot and his contact information). Feedback will be
"prioritized, filtered and/or condensed to pass along to the team
at least daily". Follow K1N on Twitter (@navassa2015) and check
out their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/2015Navassa).
The cost of the K1N operation is very high and the time to raise
the money needed to fully fund the project is very short. The
first half of the nearly $200,000 for the helicopter transportation
has been paid. By the end of this year another $95-97,000 must be
paid to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for the transportation
of the required law enforcement team. The 15 operators have
contributed $157,500 toward the K1N operation, roughly half of what
it will cost. DX Foundations, Radio Clubs, and individuals have
been "exceptionally generous" in their financial support, but the
K1N team still needs to raise "a significant amount of additional
money" before the operation commences in late January. Click on
the 'Donate' tab on www.navassadx.com for detailed information on
how to donate to the K1N Navassa DXpedition.
