5W - Jacek, SP5EAQ had announced he would be active from Samoa from 22
March to 11 April [425DXN 1815]. He was set to fly via Doha (Qatar)
and Brisbane, ultimately arriving in Apia to begin operating as
5W0AF. However, the geopolitical situation has shifted significant-
ly since the initial planning. With the airspace of several coun-
tries (including Qatar) currently closed, the stability of the
region remains uncertain even if routes were to reopen shortly.
Consequently, Jacek has determined that the only viable solution is
to re-route and postpone the DXpedition - likely until autumn. This
will involve purchasing new tickets that avoid the Middle East
entirely.
