burned, more than fifty homes were destroyed, two people lost their
lives and many tens of thousands of animals were killed'. Grant
urges island chasers to consider supporting the recovery efforts by
making a donation to the South Australia State Emergency Relief
Fund, the Nature Foundation SA's Wildlife Recovery Fund, or the
Kangaroo Island Mayor's Bushfire Relief Fund. 'All of the costs of
the expedition itself are being met by the team', he adds. 'We are
not looking for direct contributions for this project, but would
rather people contribute to the affected communities directly'. See

| TBA | V62P: Polap Atoll (OC-155) IOTA DXPEDITION ON HOLD ---> Cezar, VE3LYC and Adrian, KO8SCA expected to be
active as V62P (requested callsign) from Polap Atoll (OC-155), and as V62S
(requested callsign) from Satawal Atoll (OC-299, new one for IOTA) during
the first half of May. The project is currently on hold, though, because
Micronesia has been placed 'under a state of emergency to address the
effects of the Coronavirus. As a result, visitors from countries where con-
tamination cases are reported will be denied entry, unless they undergo a
14-day quarantine in Hawaii or Guam. The team cannot afford the additional
time and expenses associated with the quarantine provision. Consequently, we
remain in stand-by', VE3LYC announced on 20 February, 'waiting for the state
of emergency to be lifted. Depending on when this will occur, we will either
confirm the existing time schedule or negotiate with the charter provider in
order to establish a new time schedule'. Bookmark https://v6iota.weebly.com/

| TBA | W8S: Swains Island (OC-200) W8S: POSTPONED ---> 'In close cooperation with Alex Jennings, the represen-
tative of Swains Island, the team has decided to postpone the W8S DXpedition
to Swains Island to autumn of 2020', the team announced on 18 February
(https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/). 'The reason behind this postponement is the
travel restrictions when entering American Samoa, restrictions imposed by
the Department of Health of American Samoa as a result of the Corona virus
outbreak. The Department of Health allows non-residents to enter American
Samoa only via Hawaii, after a 14 days mandatory quarantine in Hawaii. For
the team this is not a workable situation. It would require extending the
holiday time by an additional 2 weeks, re-routing of the flights and pur-
chasing new tickets etc. Everything is prepared for our DXpedition, and we
are eager to go, but unfortunately the C orona virus outbreak is out of our
control'. Those who have already made a donation and wish to withdraw it,
are invited to contact the team.
