February 12-26 Set for KP5 Desecheo DXpedition
 
The ARRL says the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has told Bob Allphin, K4UEE, and Glenn Johnson, W0GJ, that their team of no more than 15 operators may put Desecheo Island (KP5) on the air for a two-week period beginning February 12, 2009.
 
There has been no amateur radio operation from the uninhabited island off the west coast of Puerto Rico since 1994. The approval culminates a several-year-long effort to get permission to reactivate the island. Allphin says he also got approval to do a "shift change" approximately halfway through the expedition, allowing more people to participate. He says the current plan is for the entire team to assemble in Puerto Rico on February 8 for mandatory unexploded ordnance training (the island once was used as a gunnery range), for the first "shift" to head to Desecheo on the 12th, to get on the air as quickly as possible and to stay on as long as possible before their departure on the 26th.
 
SKYWARN Recognition Day

SKYWARN Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League. It celebrates the contributions that volunteer SKYWARN radio operators make to the National Weather Service. During the day SKYWARN operators visit NWS offices and contact other radio operators across the world.
