K1N NAVASSA DXPEDITION (Press Release - December 20th) [edited]: The
KP1-5
Project Team would like to report progress in preparations for a late
January landing on Navassa is coming along very well! A container is
being
shipped from Atlanta, GA, to our staging point in the Caribbean.
Bob, N2OO, is our chief pilot and has organized an excellent
worldwide
team to collect reports and suggestions from our target areas.
Feedback
will be prioritized, filtered and/or condensed to pass along to the
team
at least daily. We have a very special pilot, Brandon KF5NYQ. Brandon
is
11 years old and one of the youngest hams ever to have achieved
DXCC!!!
Brandon will be collecting feedback from young hams. On our website,
<www.navassadx.com>, check out "Our Team" and scroll down
to see your
pilot. Click on their picture to see their bio and contact
information.
We are now on FACEBOOK and TWITTER!!!
- Check out our Facebook page: Navassa 2015 K1N and invite your
ham
(and non-ham) friends to follow us!
- For Twitter: You can Google Twitter and open an account. Then
when
it's open within the Twitter program search for @navassa2015.
Then
follow K1N.
Team co-leader, Glenn, W0GJ, was interviewed by DokuFunk Radio earlier
this
week. You can hear the entire interview (14 minutes) at <www.dokufunk.org/navassa-e>.
DokuFunk has an extremely well documented history of amateur operations
from
Navassa. Pictures and video will give you a preview of what the team will
see
and experience.
This week the team paid the first half of the nearly $200,000
helicopter
transportation contract. The second half is due to be paid February
10th.
By the end of this month, in order to progress with the operation, we
must
pay the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service $95,000 - $97,000 for the
transportation
of the Law Enforcement team who must accompany us. We will know our
exact
dates when our payment is due at the end of December. We will have a
press
release when we know our exact dates.
The cost of the K1N operation is very high and the time to raise
the
money needed to fully fund the project is exceptionally short.
Inherent
risks of a water landing on Navassa have dictated using a helicopter
to
transport men and materials to avoid the risk of scaling the 5-10
meter
high cliffs during the period of rough seas (January February).
The 15 operators have collectively contributed $157,500 toward the
K1N
operation, roughly half of what it will cost. DX Foundations, Radio
Clubs,
and Individuals have been exceptionally generous in their financial
support
of the K1N operation (see the list of donors at www.navassadx.com under
the
Sponsors tab). Team members are paying all of their own expenses to
and
from the staging point.
But the K1N Team still needs to raise a significant amount of
additional
money BEFORE the operation commences in late January..... to ensure
payment
for the extraordinary transportation costs. Final payment for
helicopter
services is due just before completion of the operation.
Contributions by continent as of 18 Dec 14 (excludes team members):
64%/USA, 20%/EU, 14%/AS, 1%/SA, 1%/OC and 0%/AF.
Contributions have been lagging from the Most Needed target areas of
Europe and Asia. Our North American support has been doing quite
well,
where Navassa is much further down the Most Needed List.
If you are in the U.S., consider making a generous year end tax
deductible
donation. The link below explains a simple process that allows you to
achieve tax deductible status via the Northern California DX
Foundation.
Follow this link: http://www.navassadx.com/ncdxf.htm
If you are not in the U.S. or don’t need to take advantage of a tax-
deductible contribution, you can click on the donate button on the
bottom
of our home page.
Time is short and K1N will be active within 6 weeks!
....thank you for your consideration and support!!!

informed
OPDX [edited]: In his first of three scheduled exclusive interviews
for
the Documentary Archives (DokuFunk), Glenn Johnson, W0GJ,
co-teamleader
of the forthcoming K1N Navassa DXpedition explains how and under
which
conditions the activation was made possible; he discloses the team's
working schedule and how they plan to cope with deliberate
interference,
a great annoyance at recent DXpeditions.

pervious
Navassa activations are amply documented.
A second interview is scheduled during the operation, and a third
one, a sum-up, afterwards.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE LAND OF SANTA CLAUS (Press Release -- FROM
THE
DESK OF SANTA CLAUS -- Lapland -- December 18, 2014): Our Vision for
Every
Child, Life in All its Splendor - Our Prayers for Every Heart and
Soul.
Over a period of several years, Santa Claus has appeared on Amateur
Radio bands to bring cheer to the whole world, adults and children
alike,
with the thrill of hamcasting from Santa Claus Land (SCL) and even
talking
directly to kids of all ages all over the world.
Santa himself at OH9SCL in the capital of Lapland, and OF9X,
Santa's
communication arm, will again be active on all bands. But this
Christmas,
Santa goes beyond his normal mission and welcomes you and your
children
to join him in the spirit of World Vision <www.worldvision.org>.
This is to bring Christmas also to needy children on all continents
and
this year specifically in Albania. Radio Arcala and World Vision UK
have
signed an agreement for cooperation aimed at increasing the value of
Amateur
Radio in society at large. The worthy cause directly involves amateurs
in
Albania as well. You can join the mission at <http://qrz.com/db/of9x/>
via
a World Vision link and also find Santa’s ClubLog and spot windows.
Additionally, contacting both OH9SCL and OF9X this Christmas will
earn
you an attractive Santa World Vision Award at no cost following your
email
request to of9x@sral.fi.
The activity starts on Friday, December 19 and ends on the last day
of
the year, December 31. All bands, CW/SSB/RTTY, will be used,
typically
some 25 kHz from the band edge. When the station is operating on 20M
SSB
around 14.225 kHz, Santa's audio and video will occasionally be
streamed
Those participating in the OH9SCL activity are Ynsky, OH9KL; Tuomo,
OH9JML; Jarmo, OH9EGH; Juha, OH9MM and Kimmo, OH9MDV.
At the controls of OF9X you will find Olli, OH0XX; Ville, OH1JD;
Timo,
OH1NX; Jaakko, OH1TX; Raimo, OH2BCI; Pertti, OH2BEE; Martti, OH2BH;

Pauli,
OH5BQ; Veijo, OH6KN and Kim, OH6KZP.
Santa will soon be at your service.

ADDED UPDATE (December 20th): SANTA CLAUS STATIONS, OF9X and OH9SCL
STARTED
YESTERDAY 14228 KHz AND OTHER BANDS -- ONCE I HAD A DREAM AS WE ALL DID
-
by Martti Laine, OH2BH: Back in those other years, Albania (ZA) was
growing
in rarity, and at one time it was the most wanted DXCC country in
the
world. Travel was restricted and obtaining a license seemed an
impossi-
bility. It took just about twenty years of hard work before ZA1A was
able
to hit the airwaves and to provide the amateur radio community with a
new
member.
We were honored to give you that opportunity and share the
excitement
with you together with the locals who soon became part of our
brotherhood.
Emotions were running high and made me personally adjust some of my
values
- and see the world differently.
We have returned to Albania many times, continuing with the
original
charter. Albania is not rare any more but it remains dear in our
hearts.
Albania has not made the progress we once hoped but many things have
moved
forward. Now we have decided to travel there once again with all of
you
on board through World Vision. We still have a dream!
World Vision is the largest international children’s charity, working
to
bring real hope to millions of children in the world’s hardest places.
And
they do it all as a sign of God’s unconditional love. World Vision is
headquartered in the United States and they have a local presence in
Albania.
We have now agreed with World Vision in Finland, the United Kingdom
and
the United States to step forth and help children in need and travel
to
Albania again and make a difference. For the first time World Vision
is
cooperating with Amateur Radio - understanding that we exist for
society
at large. We call on our own students in ZA to be part of this worthy
cause and we will bring you another ZA with a good feeling.
So, just check out <http://www.justgiving.com/martti-laine/> and make
your donation to World Vision UK who will transfer it to their office
in Albania to be used solely for the assigned purpose. Any amount is
blessed and highly appreciated. We thank you kindly and Wish You a
Merry
Christmas and a Peaceful Year 2015.
Note for US donors: World Vision Inc. is a registered 501(c)3
nonprofit
organization. All donations are tax deductible in full or in part. If
you
are U.S citizen you can use the following link and receipt will
follow:

MISSION STATEMENT: Through sponsoring this World Vision project in
Albania, you are helping protect the rights of children and ensuring
they
are included as members of society. This program started in 2014, and
for the next two years will contribute to the protection of child
rights
focusing on improving access to basic services for children. It will
also
work towards ensuring children, parents and adults at all levels of
society
actively include children in education services.

The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365
actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB
for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for
Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software
pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric
Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by
NASA.
