KP1 Navassa
By Robert VE3UUH
I have received an e-mail from the Fisheries and Oceans USA concerning KP1 Navassa Island. This island is not open to the public – it has been closed to the public for more than 10 years. Also, no public will be allowed on Navassa for the long term future. Even scientific groups have short and limited times on the Island.
This being the case, it is time for the DX community to pressure the ARRL to remove this so called entity from the current list. If it’s unworkable it’s unfair – and this appears to be a long term situation.
The DXer’s dream can never be realized as long as Navassa is on the DXCC entity list.
