[SJDXA] Fwd: [The Daily DX] News Regarding KH1, KH3, KH5 and KH9

[STEPHEN SULLIVAN]

Bernie had sent out the item below regarding the rare US Pacific territories. I sent Don K1DG a little note and received the following reply.

Hi Steve:

The purpose of requesting comments from the community at large is make sure all constituents who use the PRMNM are given a chance to express their desires on appropriate uses of the Monument.

If you look at the second link down near my name there are members of the community group from professional fishermen, hobby fishermen,  divers, (me for ham radio), biologists, ecologists, native Hawaiians, etc.   I have educated the other members on using the PRMNM for amateur radio purposes and I think we have a consensus it is a valuable use for the public.   Hams have proven in the past we can use the islands (see Baker 2018) and leave it as we found it.

I have no doubt the final draft will include it was a use (note:   the current rules allow ham radio with proper permitting).  Johnston is restricted not because of USFWS objections but the Air Force which still has 50% control of the Island.

73, Merry Christmas
