  • Navassa is the second-most wanted DXCC entity on Earth. No one lives there, barely enough vegetation to let a few goats to survive and popular only as the second most difficult radio code contact possible. There has been only one radio group to go there and then only for two weeks with some US Dept. Biologists. It may be years or even decades before radio people go there again. Korea is thge most wanted DXCC site as anyone contacting the outside is likely to get shot.
  • Yeah. I second that!
