Sable Island DXpedition

The CY0P DXpedition team is pleased to announce that our Web site is up and operational. This site should be familiar as it is the same as we have used on the previous Sable DXpeditions. Updates will be posted as needed.

The team just purchased a large quantity of freeze-dried meals for the DXpedition. In addition, the team added a new, five-element 10-meter yagi to the antenna inventory. This antenna will be assembled and tested before shipment to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The team is making a strong commitment to working as many Asian and Pacific area DX'ers as possible.....
Thanks,
CY0P DXpedition Team


The following is from the CY0P Web page [edited]:
"CY0 News Release - June 2013 - Operators Gary/VE1RGB, Rick/AI5P and Murray/WA4DAN, are pleased to announce a DXpedition to Sable Island from October 1st - October 11th, 2013. Approvals are in hand from Parks Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard.

We have chartered with Maritime Air Charter LTD to provide the Britten
Norman Islander aircraft for landing on the beach. The call CY0P has been issued for the October DXpedition. The CY0P (Parks) call was chosen in recognition of one of the newest National Parks in Canada.

VE1RGB is a veteran of two previous CY0 DXpeditions and is a top CW contester. AI5P has operated from over 70 DXCC countries and is a CW op. WA4DAN has coordinated two previous CY0 DXpeditions, including the October 2012 DXpedition that was cut short due to Hurricane Sandy.

An all-band, 160-10 meter, CW/SSB/RTTY operation is planned. Monoband yagi antennas are planned for 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 meters. Currently, we are assembling and testing the monoband yagi antennas. When the testing is completed, the yagi antennas will be packed and shipped to Gary in the Halifax, NS area. More details to follow in the coming weeks.

Murray, WA4DAN
