CY0, SABLE ISLAND (Update). The 6 meter DXpedition to Sable Island
scheduled to take place during the summer (June 25th through July 7th)
has updated their Web page at:
http://www.cy0x.com
Operators Pete/VE3IKV, Dick/K5AND and Chris/W3CMP will be active on CW
and SSB. The fixed 6m station (in FN93) will use the callsign CY0X.
They will be transmitting on 50.117 MHz. The team requests, "Please do
NOT send your grid square as it consumes valuable time during an opening."
They will also try and activate rare grid GN03 if there is a solid opening,
using a portable station with a 5 element M2 6M5X yagi with the callsign
CY0RA. The team will also plan on being on HF on 20 meters and 40 meters,
CW and SSB - but the HF operation will always take lower priority over the
6 meter operation. HF antennas will be elevated monoband ground-plane
verticals for each band, and the IOTA island designator is NA-063. The
special callsign CY0X commemorates the 225th anniversary of the 1783
Loyalist landing in Nova Scotia:
