[OKDXA] KP5 Desecheo Island

[Charette, Douglas]

Was anything said about KP1?  I worked the last (brief) expedition to
KP5 so band fillers will be welcome, but I need KP1 for a new one.

73, Doug W5GA

They are going at the wrong time!  THey should go in June or July so we
could work them on 6m!  Maybe they will hit the winter Es season.
