Last word I saw from Bernie is that they may be there until Tuesday now.

Brief window opens to snag rare Desecheo Island (Dec 16, 2005) -- Two US

radio amateurs are now active from Desecheo Island (NA-095), but their
stay 
on the tiny Caribbean isle will be short. The Daily DX reports that Kam 
Sirageldin, N3KS, and Dave Collingham, K3LP, received permission from
the US 
Fish and Wildlife Service to land on the island and operate. Sirageldin
is 
heading a communication project on Desecheo, so this is not a
DXpedition, 
and the pair will be on the air as their schedules permit. The Daily DX 
reports they expect to be on the island for at least 48 hours but will
not 
remain there beyond 1000 UTC on December 19. They have been using
N3KS/KP5 
and K3LP/KP5 and are equipped for CW and SSB operation from 160 through
10 
meters. Desecheo Island is on the Top 10 list of most-wanted DXCC
entities. 
QSL via W3ADC. More information is on The Daily DX Web site.
