Or perhaps he was someone who made a previous, and serious request to operate from KP5 and was refused. Then he hears that someone else is there with some kind of permission and complains about why he waas refused and then someone else allowed. F&W then decides it doesn't want to get sued for this apparent discrimination and then makes the active op stop making radio contacts from KP5. I am sure there is much more to the story than we all know. Don't be too quick to critisize his/their motives unless you do in fact know the complete story. It might be quite different than it appears. I think most of us applaude the 2 men who managed to activate KP5, and I am one of them. I needed that country for DXCC and did manage to make a contact. I hope it gets confirmed and gets my country needed list down to 3. I have cards from 70 that have not been accepted by DXCC for similar problems, and they will probably never get confirmed. Given the current political and governmental situation in that country, I will probably go to my grave without a confirmation of 7O.

I remember a couple of DXP "would be spoilers"...like a DXP that announced it plans to go Comoros and just a week before some others jumped and did a minor expedition..it turned out the Comoros team was awesome and they are still the best DXP qso wise.
