KH8S - The W8S DXpedition to Swains Island has been postponed once again
[425DXN 1504] because of the restrictions imposed by the Department
of Public Health of American Samoa as a result of the coronavirus
outbreak. "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic it is still impossible to
travel to Swains Island", the team reported on 16 June. "This means
that we have to postpone our DXpedition until spring 2021 at the
earliest". Planning will be resumed as soon as the restrictions -
such as the 14-day quarantine - are lifted. "All equipment already
purchased is waiting for us in Pago Pago. We are very disappointed
with this postponement, but if we look at it from a positive angle,
propagation will be better next year! We continue our DXpedition
project and keep you informed via our mailing list, website
(https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/) and the social media channels such
as Facebook and Twitter".
