DxCoffee and the DXUniversity have conveyed the 2015 Best Communication
Award[1] to the Navassa Island K1N[2] DXpedition, which took place in February
2015.
"This DXpedition deserved our recognition for having captivated the ham
community in the difficult task to activate this very rare entity after many
years' attempts," the announcement said. The award sponsors pointed to the
Navassa Island DXpedition website and the numerous daily updates while the
operation was under way, which included directions and advice to increase
DXers' chances of making a contact.
The sponsors also appreciated the posted photos and "especially the video, made
with a GoPro camera, mounted on Jerry, WB9Z's head." The sponsors said the K1N
DXpedition also made judicious use of social media.
