Decisions, decisions. Watch the Super Bowl or try to work the K1N Navassa
Island DXpedition? Given that the Super Bowl happens every year and that a
chance to work Navassa Island (KP1) might not happen again for another 10
years, a multitude of operators opted for the latter choice, after K1N team
operators fired up on 40 and 80 meter CW. Understandably the pileups have
been gargantuan — with stations stretching 10 kHz or more up the band from
K1N’s transmit frequency.

Stations trying to work K1N should not transmit on the DXpedition’s
frequency. K1N will always be operating split frequency.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) controls access to Navassa Island
(KP1), and it’s been more than 22 years since it was last activated.
ClubLog’s DXCC Most Wanted List puts Navassa Island at #2, right behind
North Korea (#1 on phone, #5 on CW, and #4 on digital modes). K1N will not
be operating on all modes on all bands but plans to limit most bands to a
specific mode, “so that we can work the pileups down to the last little
pistol,” the team has said.

Once on the island, the DXpedition team members reported strong winds, high
temperatures, rats as large as cats, scorpions, black widow spiders, and
even some Haitians. Eight team members had arrived on the island as of
February 1. Six remain in Jamaica.

The team continues to set up stations for other bands and hoped to have
four to six stations up and running by the end of the day (February 2).
Plans call for K1N to remain on the air for approximately 10 days.

Late last week, a station, apparently in Europe, was pirating the K1N call
sign on CW and RTTY.
