               Somebody mentioned Desecheo Island; worked it on
      Mon. July 23 at about 0000z on 14025. Call was WP4ATF/KP5.
      Haitian call/KP5 (I forget the call) was heard on SSB.
      Didn't bother since I got the cw operation. (I just go
      for mixed DXCC, saves lots of grief :-) )

               Please excuse. It was a Dominican  Republic call,
     not a Haitian call, on SSB.

I worked HI3RST/KP5 a week or so ago, sorry, don't have my log here.
Was on 14.195 at around 0400 zulu if my memory serves me correctly.
I heard that they had to be evacuated from the island due to weather
problems from another ham here at Purdue.....Dave -- wn9nbt
