[SEDXC] KP5 Story

[David Johnson]

I read the story with great interest and wish I could send it to you Carl 
but Bernie has it under copyright and has made that very clear.  Send him a 
note and see if he will send it to you.

I was disappointed that the story didn't say what type of documentation was 
sent to ARRL.  The story didn't say that they got written permission from 
Fish & Wildlife.  Their permission to land was obtained from another 
government agency.  Did that agency get the permission from F&WL?

I agree that this trip may help down the road.  I sure hope so.

I'll bet we never know who went to so much trouble to get them off the 
island.  It is my understanding from a member of the KP1/KP5 group that it 
was NOT anyone in their group.

73,  Dave - K4SSU
