Navassa

The DXpedition to Navassa Isaland has started after 22 years of hiatus since last one. This tiny island is told to be the most wanted entity in DX world. I was also impressed Haiti insisted of their right of posession while the USA had been substantially governing it.

I have "watched" K1N on 40m CW last night and on 15m SSB this AM. On 40m, 7023kHz where it showed up has been often used by BY guys. There was a bit mess with some chinese on that spot last night. K1N operator was giving preference to JAs. It is a good judgement because the window opens for short time. On 15m, the operator has instructed a narrow range of frequencies to the callers in split operation. An admirable operation!

Me? I have worked KP1 22 years ago and have given up the race of DXing. I would be the last one to call them if they should seem bored with being not called.

In the video taken at another DXpedition in 1972, it seemed this site looked  quite the same as this photo shows.
