FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

K5D Desecheo Postlogue Press Release 3/3/09

All team members have safely returned home. The K5D DXpedition, 12-26th,
February 2009, netted 115,783 QSO's, including one QSO with the Inter-
national Space Station. The DXpedition ranks #7th for all-time number
of QSO's, and the #1 DXpedition with the most 30M contacts. More
importantly, we are confident that thousands of radio amateurs worldwide
now have a QSO with Desecheo for an all-time new one--our overall #1 goal !

Desecheo was #2 Most Wanted in Asia and #3 Most Wanted in Europe. We are
happy to report that 40% of our contacts were with Asia and Europe!!!
Another important goal achieved !

The QSL card is in the final stages of design and will be available in
the next few weeks. You may QSL directly to N2OO, but online QSL requests
are available and highly recommended. For details see our website:
http://www.kp5.us/qsls.htm
Logs will be uploaded to LoTW and posted early next year.

The Desecheo 2009 team wants to thank everyone for working us and helping
to make this DXpedition such a success!

73 and good DX!
