[OKDXA] VP8 - South Georgia and South Sandwich & K1N Navassa Island

[Larry Russell]

I've worked Navassa Isl. on 20 CW and 15 SSB.  They are all out  putting up
antenna's at this time and all 12? of them will  be on this evening.  Pile up's
are bad and there is sure a bunch of LID's trying to run over everyone....

Only safe place is on CW...

Everyone,
The Board of Directors has given approval for a donation to the VP8 DXpedition coming up in 2016.  Since we have contributed heavily to various DXpeditions in recent months, we've kept our donation low so as not to impact our OKDXA bank account too adversely.
I've sent $105 to their PayPal email address ($5 extra to offset some of the fee they'll be charged by receiving the donation via PayPal).
I'm sure they appreciate everything they can get in the way of donations.

On another note, I hope all of you who are needing K1N, Navassa Island, have logged them a few times.
Some of the club member callsigns I've heard them respond to are K5SM, N5AQ, W5NUT, K9KK.
They have some very proficient operators.  They've been battling adverse weather, which has hindered not only helicopter flights to and from the island but also has impeded their ability to get all the antennas up and working.  They are still not at full operational status as of yet but they're doing everything in their power to make it happen as soon as possible, I'm sure.

73 and see you in the pileups.
Gene W5LE
