Press Release #4

Date/Time: January 10, 2026 00:00 UTC

Desecheo DXpedition 2026


The Desecheo DXpedition 2026 team is proud to highlight an important behind-the-scenes partnership that is helping redefine how modern DXpeditions are planned and executed. In collaboration with the Manyana DX Foundation, the team will deploy two advanced Remote Deployment Units (RDUs)?purpose-built, self-contained radio systems designed specifically for challenging and environmentally sensitive locations like Desecheo Island.


The Manyana RDU is best described as a DXpedition-in-a-box. Each unit integrates power management, remote radio control, and environmental monitoring into a rugged, transportable platform that can be deployed quickly and operated continuously. Designed for reliability and resilience, the RDU concept allows stations to remain on the air even when access is limited, weather conditions deteriorate, or personnel must be off-site. For KP5, this approach significantly improves both operational safety and on-air consistency.


A key innovation of the RDU system is its emphasis on real-time station awareness. Telemetry provides continuous insight into battery state-of-charge, solar input and voltage, temperature and humidity inside equipment enclosures, and overall radio status. This level of visibility allows the team to proactively manage power, heat, and moisture?critical factors for long-duration island operations?reducing downtime and maximizing QSO opportunities.


The RDUs will be integrated with remote operating infrastructure provided by Remote Ham Radio, enabling qualified operators around the world to safely operate KP5 stations across multiple time zones. This hybrid model?combining on-island deployment with global remote operation?supports the team?s goal of maintaining near-continuous, 24/7 activity throughout the expedition while preserving the fragile environment of Desecheo.


The Desecheo DXpedition 2026 team extends its sincere thanks to Manyana and the engineers and volunteers who continue to push innovation forward in support of DXing. The RDU program represents not just new equipment, but a new way of thinking about how rare entities can be activated more safely, more efficiently, and more effectively than ever before.


More updates coming soon as we continue to spotlight the people, technology, and planning behind KP5.


Stay tuned for more updates.

Desecheo DXpedition 2026
Date/Time: January 11, 2026 17:00 UTC
Final Preparations

Final preparations are now being made for the Desecheo DXpedition 2026, and the team is hard at work at the home of Ken KP4AA, completing last-minute work ahead of deployment.

Tomorrow ? Monday, January 12, 2026 ? the team departs for Desecheo Island.

Antennas and station equipment are being tuned, tested, and finalized. The power system has also received a major upgrade. The number of solar panels has been increased from eight to twelve, and new support legs are being added to the arrays to provide better orientation toward the sun. This will significantly improve battery charging capability and overall station reliability once the systems are deployed on the island.

Operating Information
 ? Callsign: KP5/NP3VI
 ? QSL: via M0OXO
 ? QSL info & band plan: available on our website and QRZ page
 ? Live activity: We plan to use the ClubLog Livestream feature

Band Plan Update:
There is one change to report. Unfortunately, there will be no 160m operation. Despite multiple attempts, the antenna could not be successfully tuned for 160 meters.

6m Operators ? We Need Your Help!
Please report 6m openings into the Desecheo area directly to Team Pilot Steve N2AJ via his QRZ email address. With two stations operating, the team will attempt to QSY to 6m whenever openings occur.

Visit our website:
https://desecheo2026.com/kp5/

Stay tuned ? the adventure is about to begin, and more updates will be coming soon directly from Desecheo Island!

Steve, N2AJ
Media Officer & Pilot

Ok. It ain't pretty but I think I go it all compressed into a printable landscape spreadsheet. The blacked out boxes are not needed of course.? Those with an "N" are needed by that person.
?Personally, I'm only looking for one good digital qso on any band, don't need it on digital on all bands.? Likewise, one qso on 12m (ANY MODE) and one qso on 6m (ANY MODE) and I happy boy.? 3 qsos and I'm done - don't need to fill all 15 boxes.

SJDXA folks,
Tomorrow is deployment day. The deployment team will be up at 4am and depart at dawn for the island. Further details are in the latest press release. 
The op team has started selecting their timeslots and RDU?s. Currently RDU 1 will be used on 40-20-15 or 10. RDU 2 will be used on 80-30-17-12 or 6. This is to limit crossband interference between RDU?s. Modes CW FT8 SSB. Emphasis on CW and FT8. 
My first slot should be tomorrow 7-9 pm. (0000-0200 UTC) on RDU1. I do not know band/mode yet. Perhaps 15 CW or FT8. TBD. 
I have selected several more time slots through next weekend. We?ve been asked to do 2 hour shifts minimum. My longest right now is 4 hours later in the week. But I?ll watch for any holes in the schedule and grab as I am able. 
There will be a live log feed. 
Watch the website for info and updates including frequencies. 
Here we go. 
See ya? in the pileups.

Good Morning SJDXA members,
Just work KP5/NP3VI on 10 meters 28.022 UP.
Beware there are a lot of LIDS on the air. A LID is one who down't listen,
tunes up on the tx frequency and the UP Police who send UP for 10 seconds.

Desecheo DXpedition 2026 Update

Date/Time: January 19, 2026 18:25 UTC


OPERATING FORMAT CHANGE


Information from:

Otis, NP4G

DXpedition Leader & Coordinator


For the next week, we will be operating using a mode-based schedule to improve efficiency, increase our QSO rate, and provide a more predictable operating pattern for those trying to work KP5/NP3VI.


This pattern will repeat daily, beginning at 00:00 UTC. We will follow this pattern for this week completely. Please note that these plans may be subject to change based on solar conditions and operator recommendations. When possible, we will try to operate on the same bands to allow more stations to work Desecheo as uniques.


00:00?04:00 UTC ? CW

CW operations to start the day.


04:00?05:00 UTC ? CW (tonight) / FT8 or CW

Mode may vary depending on conditions.


06:00?09:00 UTC ? QRT

Scheduled downtime.


09:00?12:00 UTC ? FT8

Dedicated FT8 operations.


12:00?16:00 UTC ? CW to Europe (higher bands)

Targeting EU propagation during this window.


16:00?18:00 UTC ? QRT

Planned downtime during solar maximum to allow for battery recharging.


18:00?20:00 UTC ? SSB (Phone)


20:00?24:00 UTC ? FT8

FT8 operations to finish the day.


Power and Capacity Notes:

If propagation and solar charging conditions are favorable, we expect to be able to operate two FT8 radios simultaneously during FT8 periods.


This operating pattern is expected to remain in place for the next week. We appreciate feedback from the DX community and will make adjustments as needed based on results and conditions.


Milestone Update:

We are approaching 18,000 QSOs in the log. Thank you to everyone worldwide for your patience, support, and continued interest in the Desecheo activation.


73,

Steve N2AJ

Media Officer & Pilot

Desecheo DXpedition 2026

This even came to Alabama too. Several members of our Division are seeking answers and nothing from Mickey Baker yet. Sadly many of us want change to include Director and it seems people want the problem there.

Does anyone know anything about this action?  Am I the only one in the dark as to why the elected Director of our Division has been deposed?  As a Life Member of ARRL for over 50 years, I?d like to know what is going on.

The following email is from our Division Director.  Please do not reply; this is for your information only.

 

Ron Fish, KX1W

SM, SNJ

 

After serving for some 10 years or so after first being elected as your
Vice Director, I am disappointed to report that as of 5 PM today, I have
been informed that I will be declared ineligible to continue to hold
office as your Atlantic division director under the new massive ethics
bylaw voted into being last July by a vote of 10 to 5 directors on our
ARRL board. I wish to make clear I am not resigning, I am being removed
without my consent by the application of the new code of conduct rules
passed in July of 2025.

This should come as no surprise to members following the ongoing
struggle within our Board to impose compliance with the majority?s
sense of what ethical responsibilities each member of the board must
exhibit. By passage of the new bylaws, the rules now limit or prohibit
a director?s ability to advise his division of matter involving
important board decisions without advance permission. Per these rules
it now appears that anything of any importance is to be for the
boards? eyes only. Our league is not in competition with other
businesses - we have traditionally been supportive of all other amateur
radio endeavors. That history has evolved now.

Over the last several years, League followers have seen the struggle of
what members have labeled as the transparency party verses the
confidentiality party as a shorthand for the governance divide which has
plagued the ARRL.

The majority of our Directors, sometimes referred to as the Shadow
Board by commentators and League followers, has decided that the
governance of our League is not something the members need to concern
themselves with. Our League was founded as a representative democracy
- which until recently was clearly stated on the League?s website -
wherein the members of a given division elect those directors to
represent their interest primarily in our membership based non-profit
institution.

Our League members? values should be paramount. Elected directors?
primary duty is to the members. Directors obligation to the members
never has been and cannot be inconsistent to their statutory duty to
members. Unfortunately, now the majority of the board?s directors have
chosen to prioritize a director?s obligation to a corporate entity in
degradation of a director's obligations to the League?s members.

Before the vote to enact a sweeping, ambiguous ethics code
incorporating over 100 pages of requirements by reference, I was
provided with only 12 minutes to question our corporate lawyer on what I
was told was her approval of and assistance in drafting the changes.
That turned out be misinformation according to answers she provided me.
The lawyer admitted she was not asked to opine on the legality of the
new bylaws, but only whether it was legal to pass the bylaws. While it
was permissible to pass the new bylaws, they are still contrary to the
state statutes defining a director cannot be removed except by the
members of his division.

I was also pleasantly surprised when the corporate lawyer admitted that
a director?s duty was, at least, 50% owed to the best interest of the
members, not 100% to the corporation as argued by the appointed ethics
rules committee of directors orchestrating the officious intermeddling
resulting in the new Bylaw 18 and Bylaw(s) 42/46.

The sweeping changes created by the passage of the new bylaws permits
these bylaws to be weaponize to remove directors who are in the minority
on any issue. You will notice that most directors voting, when role
call voting is allowed, is typically a 10 to 5 majority vote in favor of
restricting information from members as confidential unless released in
writing by the President or CEO. Confidentiality is sometimes
necessary, but usually most thing which ARRL does is not. Absent special
circumstances, basic information and policy decision details and plans
for the future should be available to our members. Of, by and for the
radio amateur was founder Maxim?s motto.

Based upon the promises and obligations I have made to you, I regret I
cannot in good conscience sign the new director?s oath of
confidentiality that is now demanded by the new bylaws. My
interpretation of the new rules and required confidentiality agreement
and that of other lawyers I have consulted, contradicts with my
obligations under Connecticut law to you. I recommend members read the
entirety of the different, contradictory promises a director must agree
to and decide for yourself whether they are in the best interest of
members.

For a comprehensive and scholarly legal analysis of these
issues, search for the white paper reviews drafted by a past director
and a past chairman of the Ethics and Election Committee, attorney Fred
Hopengarten, K1VR. They had been circulated widely. They point out the
absurdity of the new rules. Other nationally recognized non-profit
lawyers who are League members agree as well.

Our past 1st Vice President, also an attorney, Mike Raisbeck, K1TWF,
drafted an eloquent critic of the downward turn in League politics as
his final report to the board January 2024. Mike?s report is worth
reading and foretells of the issues we face now. It is not available at
our League website but also made it out into the wild.

I regret that I cannot execute a statement which I know to be
ill-advised, violative of my obligations to you and contrary to my
duties under the applicable law governing a membership based
corporation.

I urge you to support our Vice Director Marty Newingham AG3I who likely
will assume the position of Director now. He has my confidence and I
know he has your best interest in mind. It has been a true honor to
represent you all as your Atlantic division director. I continue my
support of Amateur Radio- always.

73, and I will see you on the radio.

 To the HamClock Community,

It is with sadness that I share the news that HamClock will be ending in
June 2026 following the passing of its developer, Elwood Downey, WB0OEW.

HamClock has been an excellent system for the Raspberry Pi. My own setup
has been running continuously for over four years with no issues beyond a
single fan failure.

We owe a great deal of thanks to Elwood for his contribution to the
community. He will be greatly missed.

73,

This is the plan for the coming week. 

Desecheo DXpedition 2026 Update
Date/Time: February 1, 2026  01:10 UTC

WEEKLY MODE SCHEDULE

We are pleased to share the updated Weekly Mode Schedule for the week beginning February 2, 2026 (00:00 UTC).

Based on operating statistics and ongoing feedback from the DX community, we have made several adjustments aimed at maximizing unique QSOs, which remains the primary mission of the Desecheo DXpedition. These adjustments emphasize 10 m and the higher bands, where we continue to see the greatest opportunity to put new stations and new DXCCs in the log.

? Current operating highlights (as of this update):
? Total QSOs: 52,300+
? Unique callsigns: 12,500+
? All-Time New Ones (ATNO / New DXCC impact): ~3,000 DXers
? Operating days so far: 19
? Operation continues until: February 12

? QSOs by continent:
? North America: 58%
? Europe: 31%
? Asia: 5.8%
? South America: 3.5%
? Oceania: 1.1%
? Africa: 0.5%

These numbers confirm that while North America naturally represents the largest share, Europe, Asia, and other regions continue to receive consistent access, particularly on FT8 and CW. High-band activity?especially 10 m?has proven to be one of the most effective ways to increase uniques and ATNOs worldwide, and that strategy will continue this coming week.

We sincerely appreciate the constructive feedback we?ve received and look forward to another productive and exciting week on the air. With nearly two weeks remaining, there is still plenty of time to get everyone in the log.

We look forward to getting all of you in the log.

73,
Steve N2AJ
Media Officer & Pilot
