[Dx-qsl] JT5DX

[Phil Whitchurch]

Thanks Steve.

A bit of research reveals the following from the Royal Mail web site, 
but I see it hasn't been updated for over a year.

*"Start date:* 27 January 2020
*Latest Update:* 8 April 2020
*End date:* Ongoing
*Incident:* Coronavirus

We're accepting letters and parcels destined for Mongolia, however, due 
to Covid-19 we expect items to be held at the point of entry as Mongolia 
has now closed all mail centres and no delivery services are available.

*Update 8 April 2020*
Mongolia Post has updated that all International flights to and from 
Ulaanbaatar are suspended until 30 April. The international mail 
processing centre (MNULNA) will remain closed until 1 May 2020 and this 
may be extended. As result, mail deliveries will experience delays 
during the stated periods and immediately after.

*Update: 10 March 2020*
Mongolia Post has confirmed the first case of COVID-19 infection has now 
been recorded in Mongolia. To help prevent the virus from spreading, all 
international flights, both inbound and outbound are suspended from 
11-30 March and domestic routes are closed from 10-16 March 2020. These 
periods may be extended."

I've also learned that JT1CO / JT5DX doesn't respond to e-mails. :-(

I guess I'll just have to be a bit more patient.

73 for now
