before and after my trip to JQ68", he adds. QSL via home call.
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".
OZ - Carsten, OZ4CG from Bornholm Island (EU-030) will be active again

VISALIA 2021 ---> This year's International DX Convention (IDXC) had to be
cancelled owing to health and safety issues arising from the coronavirus
pandemic.
Next year it will become the International DX & Contesting Convention
(IDXCC), as the new name "more accurately reflects what the convention
has actually become over the years: a gathering of both avid DXers and con-
testers from around the world".
More importantly, "after consultation with a few medical experts, epidemiol-
ogists epidemiologists and long-time attendees", the organizers have con-
cluded that for 2021 "the right choice - and the safest choice - is to have
a Virtual Convention instead of an in-person meeting".
IDXCC 2021 will be held on 16-18 April and 23-25 April, and each weekend
will be a unique 3-day event, not duplicates. Online registration will be
opened early next year. Bookmark https://www.dxconvention.com/ for more
announcements in the coming weeks.
