SB DX @ WW < KB8NW $OPDX.1519.1 Ohio/Penn DX Special Bulletin No. 1519.1 The Ohio/Penn DX PacketCluster DX Special Bulletin No. 1519.1 BID: $OPDX.1519.1 June 13, 2021 Editor Tedd Mirgliotta, KB8NW Provided by BARF80.ORG (Cleveland, Ohio) Written/Sent From Strongsville, Ohio Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, the AB5K's AR Clusters Network, and N6PSE for the following DX information. "Celebrating 30 years (March 1991) of FREE DX News" "Could this be the last year???" 3Y0J BOUVET ISLAND 2023 DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release; Canceled!).[edited] To the global DX community. We regret to inform you of the following news. The global pandemic has impacted the expedition charter vessel business very hard; this includes the venerable RV Braveheart which has provided outstanding safety and service to many DXpeditions. As you know, we had signed a contract with Braveheart for 3Y0J. Today, we were informed that Braveheart will be sold. As a result, Nigel Jolly will no longer be associated with the ship, our contract with the ship has been cancelled and our deposit will be refunded. This is a very disappointing development to all involved. At this time, we are cancelling the 3Y0J Dxpedition. We have ceased accepting donations and we will begin refunding 100% of the donations using the same method they were received, i.e., PayPal, cash or check. This process will take several weeks to sort out, so please be patient. We wish to thank our team for putting their trust in us. We wish to thank all of the donors and sponsors that gave generously to this project. We will continue to research other ships and possibly find another suitable vessel for a future project. 73, Paul Ewing, N6PSE Kenneth Opskar, LA7GIA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TO BE ADDED TO THE OPDX MAILING LIST -- Click or send requests to: Subscribe: (mailto:kb8nw@hotmail.com?subject=subscribe) Unsubscribe: (mailto:kb8nw@hotmail.com?subject=unsubscribe) ** PLEASE NOTE FOR OUTLOOK USERS: PLEASE put your E-mail address also in the body of the message.
