 Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
 Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AB5K & the AR TelNet
 Clusters Network and K6VVA for the following DX information.
 P5, NORTH KOREA (P5/K6VVA Pending "CW ONLY" & IOTA AS-197 Activation
 Proposal Project). Rick, K6VVA, states: "This is a 'Work-In-Progress'
 Update & Interest Level Survey." Press release by Rick states on his
 Web page:
 "P5 'CW ONLY' & IOTA AS-197 PROJECT
 .............................................................
 HISTORY...
 During the past 6 years, I have had more than 50 cordial telephone
 conversations with D.P.R.K. personnel seeking official permission to
 operate from P5. Along with email proposals and discussions in this
 matter, substantial efforts have been made to obtain a P5 license.
 For more than a year now I have now been working with an NGO Organization
 which is well respected in the D.P.R.K. as a result of Humanitarian work
 they have done in P5 for many years. I have personally donated several
 thousands of dollars to this organization and another NGO specifically
 for both Food and Medical related relief projects to the people in need
 within the D.P.R.K. Representatives from both organizations personally
 supervise the final delivery and distribution of agricultral, food and
 medical related items in the D.P.R.K. to ensure the integrity of the
 donation programs.
 NEW DEVELOPMENTS...
 For several months now my NGO contact and I have been discussing a possible
 new venue which would be mutually beneficial in helping to accomplish each
 of our objectives in the D.P.R.K.
 A longstanding goal has been to combine the need for a "CW ONLY" P5
 Expedition with the first time activation of at least one P5 IOTA 'NEW
 ONE'. I believe an opportunity now exists to combine these goals in
 conjunction with unique "Cultural" and "Humanitarian" objectives which
 have been formulated for review by D.P.R.K. Authorities. There is strong
 support from the NGO in this effort.
 CLARIFICATION...
 I need to make it very clear than I am *NOT* seeking any donations at
 this point, but rather only an indication of the level of potential
 contributions for the related "Humanitarian" purposes likely required
 in order for approval of this project and issuance of a P5 license.
 Although I will be paying ALL my own expenses for the Expedition, a
 quite large 'threshold' amount for the 'Humanitarian' part of the proposal
 has been established which may be necessary for this P5 Project to succeed.
 NO future donations will come to me personally, but rather be directed to
 the very well-respected NGO specifically earmarked for the D.P.R.K. relief
 part of the P5 Project proposal AFTER the Expedition has concluded. There
 are some remaining details yet to be finalized.
 THE CHALLENGE...
 WRITTEN APPROVAL from at least four separate D.P.R.K. Ministries and
 entities (including the D.P.R.K. Military) is necessary in order for
 this to happen. Based upon a detailed review of several previous P5
 Expedition attempts that did not result in getting on the air, a key
 objective in this matter is to minimize potential failure upon arrival
 at the final destination in P5.
 It has been a very long 6 years thus far, but I believe the time has
 finally come to 'fish or cut bait'. I've espoused that 'Ham Radio Operators'
 are known to be generous contributors to Humanitarian causes. Being able
 to provide an indicator of this to the D.P.R.K. Authorities up-front can
 potentially make the difference between another 'No', or finally YES' in
 obtaining the desired P5 license.
 Another purpose of this Expedition is to hopefully further 'open the door'
 for a future Multi-Operator venue in P5, as well as activation of the other
 3 remaining P5 IOTA 'NEW ONES'.
 PREPARATION...
 My FIVE 2011 IOTA Expeditions to NA-041, NA-066, NA-091, NA-184 and NA-242
 ('NEW ONE') were also used to fine-tune operational matters as well as test
 antenna designs for P5 use in a small venue footprint most likely acceptable
 to the D.P.R.K. Authorities. The plan is 4 days QRV with 200 watt radios and
 'Verticals near salt water'. I have all the radio, antenna and computer
 equipment necessary for this expedition, including two KPA500 amplifiers
 (approval for use of the amps in P5 is questionable at this time).
 Thanks very much in advance for your possible participation in the
 Humanitarian aspect of this P5 'CW ONLY' and IOTA AS-197 Project. For

 P.S. This is NOT a solicitation for contributions or donations, but only an
 inquiry to obtain an idea as to the possibilities of achieving the minimum
 'threshold' amount set forth in the proposal to hopefully make this 'Cultural
 & Humanitarian' endeavor also become a reality for P5 'CW ONLY' and first
 time activation of IOTA AS-197."
