 "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 From The KP1-5 project
 RE: Navassa Island (KP1) Operation
 August 29, 2014

 KP1 Navassa Island
 The KP1-5 Project is 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.
 Over the past year, the KP1-5 Project has had numerous
 meetings with 
 various levels of USFWS management. Throughout our
 discussions, their 
 personnel have been courteous, professional and cooperative.
 We have 
 been treated with sincere interest and respect and believe
 that amateur 
 radio operators may now be viewed as partners and not
 adversaries.
 As with the Desecheo operation in 2009, and in order to be
 transparent 
 and fair, 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 Desecheo (K5D) operation.
 We wish to thank the USFWS for their decision to allow this
 operation. 
 Navassa Island is ranked #2 most-needed DXCC entity by The
 DX Magazine 
 and #1 by ClubLog.

 Glenn Johnson, W0GJ, Vice-President
