K1N ---> The first helicopter flight from Jamaica to  Navassa  landed  three
operators and infrastructure materials during  the  local  afternoon  on  31
January. Flights resumed at sunrise and K1N has been QRV since 23:14 UTC  on
1 February. After the whole team  arrived,  K1N  expected  to  go  "to  full
DXpedition mode" with seven stations at 00.00 UTC on  5  February.  Reported
band/mode errors in the uploaded logs have been fixed: "the  on-island  logs
are complete and safe and we think that Club Log  accurately  reflects  them
now", the team reported on 6 February at 04.39 UTC, so  "if  you  don't  see
your Qs by this time tomorrow, it's probably best to  work  us  again".  The
latest statistics (6 February at 02.44 UTC) show 40556 QSOs (73,5 %  NA  and
19,3 % EU) with 14299 unique callsigns. K1N shoukd be QRV  until  around  14
February. The operation has been already approved for DXCC  credit.  Updates
and pictures can be found at www.navassadx.com.

THE DQRM TRACKING PROJECT ---> Recently, the amount and  intensity  of  DQRM
(Deliberate QRM) has been  growing  logarithmically,  targeting  DXpeditions
all over the world. DQRMers attempt to spoil communications and disrupt  the
joy of chasing DX. Without going into the  motivation  of  DQRMers,  the  DX
Community is taking steps to eliminate this practice.
The KP1-5 Project, which is producing the 2015 K1N Navassa  DXpedition,  has
been  working  with  tele-communications  agencies  around  the  world.  The
objective is to identify stations who are acting as DQRMers  and  use  legal
means to stop this behaviour. The  technology  is  in  hand  to  solve  this
problem and, with your assistance, we can stop this blight that  is  hurting
hams worldwide.
HOW IT WORKS: Locating  the  stations  engaging  in  DQRM  is  a  matter  of
triangulation. When the DQRMer is 60db over S9 at your location, you can  be
pretty  sure  that  station  is  nearby.  If  you  fill  out   the  form  at
www.dqrmreport.com, the data will be collected and  analyzed  to  produce  a
reasonably accurate map of the DQRMer's location. This  data  will  allow  a
close-in search in the DQRMer's area and, using  local  transmitter  hunting
devices, the offender will be identified. This is a real-time system  that's
been in development for several years; its first  major  test  will  be  the
2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition.
WHAT YOU DO: Fill out the form with as much information as you can  provide.
All information will remain confidential. The form will go into  a  database
and the DQRM Project software will do the rest. We can stop DQRM -  and  you
can help!

YB3MM/8 ---> Adhi, YB3MM reports that his recent activity  from  IOTA  group
OC-247 took place from four different islands: Sailusa  Besar  (aka  Sailus,
from 28 January until 2 UTC on  the  29th),  Satanger  (from  6  UTC  on  29
January until 2 UTC on the 30th), Kapoposang (6-17.30  UTC  on  30  January)
and Sailusa Kecil (aka Poleonro, from 22 UTC on 30 January until 00  UTC  on
the 31st).

+ SILENT KEY + Rinaldo Cavagnero, I1CAW  passed  away  on  3  February.  His
interests ranged from 80m to 10 GHz; a DXer for many decades, he  had  total
of 356 Entities confirmed in the DXCC Phone standings and  was  one  of  the
doyens of IOTA chasing in Italy.
