In the ham world (and the SWL world), Navassa Island was in the top 3
of
rare locations. They have not been on for decades but recently
received
permission from the govt agency that controls the island to run a
DXpedition. They are on the air as we speak -- and won't be given
permission to do it again for ten years.

Presumably they will honor SWL QSL requests.

To see what bands and modes they are currently on, go to the DX
spotting
site DXSummit.fi

To read about the island and the DXpedition and QSL info, go to
navassadx.com

It's a real mob scene, but I got lucky and worked them on 20 CW with
100
watts and a low dipole...

First week was terrible for operator practice.
Never heard so many calling on the listening frequency.

Sadly this is almost always true with big DXpeditions -- calling on the
listening frequency, the "DX police", intentional QRM, "F-bombs". Lids,
kids and space cadets, unfortunately nothing new. :-(

Since my last post, I also worked them on 80 and 160 CW.

73...

P.S. It is claimed that Navassa is the *second* most wanted DX entity --
after North Korea.
