It was an interesting article about Navassa Island but the statement about the
last activity being in 1978 is in error. I worked AA4VK/KP1, WA4DAN/KP1,
KW2P/KP!, N0TG/KP1, AA4VK/KP1 and AA4NC/KP1 1/18/1992 through 1/21/1992. The
first DXpedition to use KP1 was in 1978 with others in 1982, 85, 88, 92 and 93.
Expeditions before 1978 used KC4. Still it has been more than 22 years since
the entity has been activated, so it is really rare and getting more rare by
the day. Navassa is needed by 96.97% of the Club Log responders while P5,
North Korea is need by only 96.53% of responders. #8, Tromelin is due up in
November of 2014 and #6 Heard Island is due up in January of 2015. I am sure
there are plenty of DXpeditioners who are trying to get permission for Navassa
and North Korea but politics is a barrier.
