Narrative:

Taxiing out for takeoff at fajardo airport. No unicom and taxiway closed. I transmitted my intentions to backtrack to the active runway. Nobody responded on the frequency 122.7. I looked at base and final approach and saw nobody. As I backtracked, I saw a twin small transport turning on final. I transmitted again and nobody responded. I turned landing lights on and then the twin small transport turned the lights on and started a go around with no further problems. 1) fajardo airport is the #2 busiest airport on the island--passenger and operations. 2) no tower or manned unicom. 3) taxiway closed for at least 3 months. 4) prpa solicits every day for more operators into an already crowded and handicapped facility.
