[South Florida DX Association] KP1/KP5 help needed by US DXers

[Bill Marx]

>From Bernie W3UR


Dear DXer & Contester:

We need your assistance in passing H.R. 1183, a bill in Congress that will
reopen Desecheo (KP5/IOTA NA-095) and Navassa (KP1/IOTA NA-098) islands in
the Caribbean.

H.R. 1183 succeeds H.R. 298, the House bill introduced in January by
Congressman Nick Rahall of West Virginia.  We contacted you about '298 a few
weeks ago.  However, conservationists have objected to '298 because it would
have required opening the Farallon Islands (IOTA NA-178) off California's
coast. Fortunately, Congressman Rahall is committed to opening Desecheo and
Navassa and he introduced H.R. 1183 on March 9, naming only Desecheo and
Navassa islands as the subjects of the bill.

Please take five minutes to contact your Congressman to ask him or her to
COSPONSOR and VOTE FOR "H.R. 1183." Sample e-mail language and contact
information for your Congressman are available at www.kp1-5.com.  This
nonpartisan bill would correct the Fish and Wildlife Service's wrongful
closure of these islands.  Even if you have Desecheo and Navassa confirmed,
you can help others who still need these entities by contacting your
Congressman.

Please visit our web site www.kp1-5.com for more information.
