reports [edited]: "Many have asked about the impact COVID-19 could have
to the Sable Island Dxpedition scheduled for October. We are routinely
in contact with Parks Canada and cautiously optimistic for October at
this time. Certainly, matters can change quickly.
However, if the DXpedition schedule is delayed due to COVID-19 regu-
lations, we have been assured by Parks Canada that they will work with
us to reschedule the DXpedition. The team has been polled, and all agree
that they will be able to comply to revised dates. Currently the border
between Canada and USA is closed until June 21st. Shortly after that
date, we hope to have a firm decision for October assuming no additional
regulations for travel, etc are placed into effect."

T8, PALAU (Postponed). Yasuo "Yas", JA6UBY, announced the following on
May 27th: "I was planning to hold a Short-DX Pedition Palau from September
17th to 26th, 2020. Since the end of last year, the spread of the COVID-19
new coronavirus, which has spread worldwide, has spread, and many people
have been infected and dead. There are many places where travel is pro-
hibited in some countries. The other day, an airline company told us that
the flight plan we were planning to fly to was bound to a major restric-
tion, and the transfer airport to Guam Airport was suspended until the
end of October. We have to make a very disappointing decision, which is
a regret. Therefore, I decided to stay quiet in 2020. When the day is
confirmed that the effects of the 2021 COVID-19 new coronavirus have
subsided. We are planning a Short-DX Pedition Palau, Not a cancellation.
The ticket is on hold because it is postponed. Also, please be careful
of your health until the time you meet.
