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 
opportu
nity 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_ (http://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.
