Although since they are only looking at their logs, it is possible for
people to have worked KP1 in the past could still get in on this, but I
would hope that DXers would have enough integrity to not do this. I know
when Ducie Island was first activated they left a station on 15m 24 hours a
day for the entire DXpedition as that was judged to be the best band to
give everyone at least 1 shot at them, since it was a ATNO for everyone. I
hope some of the upcoming DXpeditons choose to do that for 20 or 15m as
well.
