This was taken from the OPDX of this week, I know some of you guys still
need KP1 or KP5 for a new one:



WHY ARE KP1 AND KP5 NOT ON THE AIR?? DXer Carl Henson, WB4ZNH, provides
the following information to help get KP1/KP5 back on the air:
  "Many DX groups in the USA have been trying unsuccessfully for about
   12 years to receive permission to activate KP1, Desecheo Island and
   KP5, Navassa Island. My group has been working hard on this problem
   for several years now. We keep reaching a dead end. It has now become
   more important that someone go, regardless of who. Please non-USA Hams
   write to:
      The President, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500
                        president at whitehouse.gov
                      vice.president at whitehouse.gov
   and US Hams please write, E-mail, and phone your Congressman and Senator
   and urge them to bring pressure to bear on the Department of Interior
   to allow an operation from both of these DX locations. One third of
   the US Senators and all of the US Representatives are up for reelection
   this year, not to mention the President and Vice President. If you would
   like to go to one of these islands, E-mail me  and I will give you the
   information for application and how to cause the most work for the
   Department of the Interior...... 73, Carl

   P.S. Oh, I forgot, Fish and Wildlife has to comply with 50cfr2545,
   so please include the following download information."
