meetings with various levels of USFWS  management.  It  is  now  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. 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

TZ6BB QRT ---> Fernando, TZ6BB (EA4BB) has been reassigned  to  Nigeria  and
will go there on 8 September. "I was kind of expecting this, though  not  so
soon", he says. This means that TZ6BB will go QRT from  Mali  on  Sunday  (7
September) evening. He will be back to Mali for a few days by mid  November,
"but my task then will be to dismantle the station, pack all my  things  and
then return to 5N land to stay. I will of course do my best  to  be  on  the
air from there, but I need first to sort a license, QTH,  station  etc.  Not
sure how long that is  going  to  take,  but  I'm  afraid  it  won't  happen
overnight. I am leaving some of my radio  equipment  (including  a  nice  HF
transceiver) behind, here in Mali, as a little present to  a  local  ham  in
the hope he will keep Mali active on the bands  in  the  future.  Let's  see
what happens". [TNX TZ6BB]
