      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
      From The KP1-5 project 
RE: Navassa Island (KP1) Operation 
      
August 29, 2014
      KP1 Navassa Island 
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.
