KP5/NP3VI Desecheo Confirmed. Well that was fast!
I heard KP5/NP3VI on 15M CW this afternoon. I needed them for number 338 active entities worked in my quest for Honor Roll #1 DXCC (340).
After I worked through that good old CW pileup on 15 Meters I uploaded to Logbook of the World.
Maybe 30 minutes after my upload, I double checked to see if my upload took and voilà! They had already uploaded, and it’s ARRL credited!
Well, if KP5/NP3VI can upload to LoTW within minutes, and without a donation – it gives me extreme pause with what’s been happening with DXpeditions charging $$$ the last few years for a LoTW upload. Think I’ll donate to real human mode DXpeditions that never ask for money moving forward as I’ve already stopped donating to lazy, automated computer scripted TXTpeditions (FT8) that beg for donations and OQRS LoTW uploads. Seems fair don’t cha’ think?
Here’s me working KP5/NP3VI on 20 Meters through the idiot Lids and Kid QRMers calling on KP5/NP3VI’s transmit frequency:
See you in more of the “human mode” pileups!

Awesome!
Congrats Wayne, glad you could snag them right away. Still waiting for their signals to come up at my qth in Florida. They peaked up a couple of times but not enough to work them. I’ll get them though, maybe today. 73 Dave KM4BS
Too close a distance Dave. Got to sit on that “spotlight propagation” for them to come in. I know several times I haven’t even sniffed them on the higher bands and then all of a sudden they’re in the wheelhouse and workable. And just as fast as they come in – they fade out. Good luck, hope you get them!

Congratulations for Honor Roll! Well Done!

Congratulations. I wasnt able to break the pileups. They were never very loud into Washington. Hopefully tomorrow or maybe later this week.
That free LOTW confirmation is your Christmas present from the Desecheo DXpedition 2026 Team.Thats why you still see EZ aboard Santa’s sled on our QRZ page. He’s giving out free LOTW confirmations. They are uploaded directly to LOTW every hour.
How awesome is that? And didn’t have to pay a ransom to get confirmations either!
Thanks Steve!
