Guys did Good job, Bravest Men!
I still remember the time, about 10-11 years ago, I was on 80 meters and heard KP5/W5... Just do not remember the callsign off hand.
Well, they were CQing lonely.
I called them, got report, then asked the guys to QSY on 40 meters, no problem.
Then they came back to 80 meters.
Meanwhile, I called several Ham friends in W3, W5, and W7 I beleive, and told them that KP5 is on the air. My friends turned on their Radios, called KP5 and got the new one.
(Well, it was not new for all of them)
What are we facing now? Agents, Cops, Lawyers, Bulletproofs, etc?
Oh, My God...
My Hat's is off to K3LP.

p.s. About the same 10 years ago, I was active from KP4/AA3BG etc.
I have a good friend there, he is Ham Radio Operator, and used to work for KP4 Governeur for a long time.
We had a paper, signed by the Governeur of Puerto Rico - to go to KP5, and guess what, that paper was overturned by wild life agents, some like that...
Whatever, Season's Greetings to everybody.

It was interesting to hear K3LP/KH5 go QRT after working a W8 QRP staion, something like "they're right behind me now." and then silence.
Someone said on one of the lists why didn't they try to reason with the FWS agents (if thats who the "cops" were). I was a newspaper reporter for 20+ years and went on many different raids or busts or whatever you want to call them with city police, state police, and some federal agents, on all kinds of operations, even with the Texas Comptroller's Office tax agents when they raided busineeses for not paying state sales taxes they collected. (and an aside my sister-in-law was a Texas state revenue agent back in the 1980s), During nearly every operation officers never gave anyone a chance to "explain" or "reason" first, that might have come later, but they always wanted to get control of the situation first and then maybe listen later.
Remember the photo of the INS agent holding an automatic weapon on Elian Gonzales the little Cuban child that had been ordered sent back to Cuba from Miami? This was a simple child return case, but the INS agent was wearing a stell helment, bulletproof vest, holding an autpomatic weapon, etc. and the look on Elian's face was something else looking down the barrel of that automatic weapon. As another aside, that photo won a Pulitzer Prize for news photography.
I'm sure K3LP, et.al. will have a heck of a story to tell once they get back.
