> The KP1-5 Project is pleased to announce that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
> Service has agreed to allow an amateur radio operation from Navassa 
> National Wildlife Refuge (KP1). The operation will occur within the next 
> 18 months and will be coordinated with the USFWS work flow.
> Over the past year, the KP1-5 Project has had numerous meetings with 
> various levels of USFWS management. Throughout our discussions, their 
> personnel have been courteous, professional and cooperative. We have 
> been treated with sincere interest and respect and believe that amateur 
> radio operators may now be viewed as partners and not adversaries.
> As with the Desecheo operation in 2009, and in order to be transparent 
> and fair, the USFWS has requested proposals for the amateur radio 
> operation from those individuals and groups that have already applied 
> for a Special Use Permit in the past. The KP1-5 Project will be 
> submitting a proposal and hoping to be selected as they were for the 
> very successful Desecheo (K5D) operation.
> We wish to thank the USFWS for their decision to allow this operation. 
> Navassa Island is ranked #2 most-needed DXCC entity by The DX Magazine 
> and #1 by ClubLog.
