| February 2021 | KH6VV/KH4: Midway Island (OC-030) KH6VV/KH4 ---> The DXpedition to Midway Island [425DXN #1476] has been
postponed. 'We've all seen the latest pandemic news. It's not progressing in
a good direction, or anything like the earlier predictions', Ron KH6DV
posted to qrz.com on 9 July. 'We have encountered a strong and understand-
able pushback related to the original operation date of October 2020. Once
there was the possibility of moving the operation to the second half of Feb-
ruary 2021 the conversation turned more positive. The application for the
Special Use Permit for Midway has now been edited, and now proposes a period
of the second half of February and will be submitted this week. Two things
now need to happen: (1) we need more operator interest, and (2) we need more
donations to the expedition PayPal page(KH6VV[@]outlook.com)'.

| TBA 2021 | W8S: Swains Island (OC-200) 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'.

pedition to the South Orkney Islands (AN-008)', the Leadership Team an-
nounced on 13 September. 'Due to the global pandemic our equipment was re-
turned to California about two months later than planned. Nothing was
missing or damaged during the extended journey. Thanks to the worldwide
clubs/foundations, the DX community and our corporate sponsors, the project
met all operational and financial goals. We appreciate the continued support
from the DX community.
Consistent with our commitment to upload the complete VP8PJ log to LoTW six
months following the DXpedition, Tim M0URX will upload the complete log on
15 September.
Planning for our next project [ZL9 New Zealand Sub Antarctic Islands, 425DXN
1515] is underway. Exact timing will depend on lifting of the global travel
restrictions, issuance of the landing permit and ship scheduling, early 2022
is the plan'. [TNX K5GS]
