[Tnx K1VV] 05/11/2005: Kimo Chun (KH7U) and Mike (KH6ND) are to go to Palmyra Atoll (KH5, IOTA OC-085) November 5th, staying until November 19th. They will be conducting the annual maintenance and repairs to the island electronics for The Nature Conservancy. They are also going to install two BiggIR verticals, kindly sponsored by the NCDXF and SteppIR, and another tower. This is another phase in constructing two amateur HF stations on the island. Though access to these stations may be very limited, it is hoped that it will lead to more and regular operations from this rare DX entity. Kimo will operate SSB and Mike will be working CW and RTTY. They will have amplifiers and will be putting up some vertical arrays for 80-10. If they can get an antenna up for 160 they will also be trying that band. Watch the callsign. I understand they will be signing KH6ND/5 and KH7U/5. The 'shortened' suffix is 'legal' since the prefix for Hawaii and Palmyra is 'KH' and is acceptable. QSL KH7U/5 via AH6NF and KH6ND/5 via K2PF.
