[A-DX] (kein Betreff)

[Bernhard Wittek]

Navassa (KP1) ist das derzeit meistgesuchte (most wanted) DXCC Land. 
Dort war seit 23 Jahren niemand mehr und laut Ankündigung des US Fish 
and Wildlife Service, unter dessen Verwaltung die Insel steht, wird 
danach für mindestens 10 Jahre niemand mehr hindürfen. Die Leute sollten 
sich also überlegen, ob sie lieber Superbowl schauen, oder versuchen, 
K1N, so das Rufzeichen der DXPedition, die sich derzeit auf Navassa 
befindet, zu arbeiten. Dazu kommen gutgemeinte Hinweise, nicht auf der 
Frequenz der DXPedition zu rufen usw., also Dinge, die eigentlich 
selbstverständlich sein sollten.
