Located approximately 13 miles off the west coast of Puerto Rico, Desecheo Island has not been activated since 2009. This operation represents the first Puerto Rican–led Dxpedition to Desecheo in 48 years, following the historic KP4AM/D activation in 1978. To ensure continuous, global on-air presence, two self-sustained Remote Deployable Units (RDUs) provided by the Manyana DX Foundation will be deployed on the island. These stations will operate 24 hours a day for 30 consecutive days, utilizing state-of-the-art remote operating infrastructure from Remote Ham Radio (RHR). The primary mission of this Dxpedition is to provide an All-Time New One (ATNO) to as many amateur radio operators worldwide as possible. Operators from Puerto Rico and international locations will participate to maximize coverage, band availability, and global accessibility. Dxpedition highlights include: • 30 days of continuous operation • Livestreaming and real-time activity updates via Club Log For the latest news, photos, operational updates, and activation schedules, please visit our official website desecheo2026.com and follow us on Facebook. 73, Otis, NP4G Team Leader KP5/NP3VI Desecheo DXpedition
