Amateur radio operation is an existing use at Jarvis Island NWR; however, it is not a common use. The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, and its predecessor, the Pacific Reefs National Wildlife Refuge Complex (Complex) receive sporadic requests (every few years) for amateur radio operators to work from the various remote island refuges. Since 1983, the Complex has permitted six amateur radio operator groups to access nearby Howland Island National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) (three permits), Baker Island NWR (one permit), and Jarvis Island NWR (two permits).
