Desecheo 2009 Press Release # 4
January 26, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We have reserved the special call sign K5D for our upcoming Desecheo
operation. The operation will begin late in the day on Feb 12th.

QSO philosophy...because Desecheo is so very rare ( #6 worldwide, #3 in
Europe and # 2 in Asia ) there are many, many hams worldwide that need
KP5 for an all-time new one. Therefore, we are asking that you not
contact the Dxpedition on any band/mode that you have confirmed from a
previous DXpedition. This will allow the people who really need a new
DXCC entity a better opportunity to get through the pileups.

Our objective is not to establish a world record for contacts...there
will be no "greenies", no boxes to check, no competitions for most
band/mode QSOs, no certificate or awards for contacting the Dxpedition
more times than anyone else. So, if you have KP5 already confirmed on
a particular band/mode, we respectfully ask that you exercise restraint.
If, late in the DXpedition, we are calling CQ for contacts, we will
welcome your call.

The team has encountered higher expenses than anticipated. These mainly
involve the transportation and feeding of other personnel that will be
traveling to the island with us. Approximately ten other personnel will
share our campsite and facilities for the duration of the DXpedition.
They will be on Island with us to provide security and carry out field
research. Therefore, we ask that you consider a contribution to the
DXpedition to help with these incremental expenses. Just go to www.kp5.us
and click the button that reads" How you can Help".

We are all counting the days until we assemble in Puerto Rico on Feb 7th.
