INDEXA is happy to be supporting this unique DXpedition to Desecheo!
The INDEXA Board of Directors is honored to be supporting this project. 
It provides an enhanced method of operating from a DX location with 
extremely limited normal access. It has become more and more difficult 
for amateur radio DXpeditions to get permission to land on and operate 
from many such locations, usually due to environmental concerns. By 
placing a fully functioning remote amateur radio package with limited 
space requirements that can operate continuously without the use of most 
of the paraphernalia such as large antennas, generators, fuel, radios 
with amplifiers, and not to mention landing a full team and their needs 
(including often extreme landing requirements using helicopters and/or 
boats). We all know the difficulties. This project could very well be 
the beginning of a new alternative way for activating many difficult to 
access DXCC entities and provide DXCC chasers a way to work an All Time 
New One (ATNO).

INDEXA was approached by Otis NP4G in mid-December asking if INDEXA 
could provide support for this project. Since Otis is the President of 
INDEXA, he asked me to handle it for him so as not to be a conflict of 
interest. As such, I submitted the proposal to the INDEXA board of 
directors and was met with an enthusiastic YES. On December 16, the 
INDEXA Board of Directors approved a $10,000 grant for the KP5/NP3VI 
DXpedition project!

We wish the team a successful DXpedition project. I am sure that it will 
be a learning experience for them as well as for us. We look forward to 
hearing theirfull “post project review”!
