CONTEST CHART CORRECTION. Please note that in OPDX. 1063 the "NG3K CQWW

and should be Lowe Island.

CY9, ST. PAUL ISLAND (Press Release #2). On May 25th, the CY9M team
reports: "Time is flying! Two months today the CY9M team will be making
their way to Sydney, Nova Scotia, then onwards to the northernmost tip
of Cape Breton, ready to depart for St Paul island on July 26th.
Much has happened since the first press release in February. Those who
keep an eye on the CY9M Web site will note major organizations such as
Northern California DX Foundation <http://www.ncdxf.org> and ARRL Colvin
Award <http://www.ncdxf.org> have agreed to financially back our plans.
Together, with all other kind donors and clubs, we thank them sincerely.
The team makes special mention to Al, VE1AL, for his local logistical
help. His ongoing assistance is much appreciated.
Meanwhile, the last few weeks has seen a host of sponsors commit to
the expedition.
Elecraft, main equipment sponsor of our expedition, is providing six
K3 transceivers. We are indebted to Elecraft for their support.
DX Engineering, Tigertronics, Waters & Stanton, Heil Sound, Spiderbeam,
RF Power and Vibroplex have shown faith in our activation by generously
supporting too.
G3TXQ Broadband Hexbeam by MW0JZE is providing the team with three
antennas. Using both Hexbeams and vertical arrays, we hope to be heard
from the island! M2 Antenna Systems are also contributing with a 50 MHz
yagi/beam =96 we know how wanted St Paul island is on 6m and cross fingers
for good openings.
As mentioned previously, there are few landing spots on the island.
Actual station location will be determined where we land. From planning
discussions, we know each proposed location has positives and negatives
to certain regions around the globe =96 therefore this is very much an
"on the day" set-up at any given landing spot.
Now the shipping process begins.
If you would like to donate any amount to the CY9M St Paul Island
Dxpedition, please click here: http://www.cy9m.com/donor
Feel free to follow us on Twitter <https://twitter.com/#!/CY9M> and
Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/CY9M.2012> - nearer the time of departure
(and afterwards) various team members will update as we journey.
Thanks for taking the time to read and share =96 we look forward to worki=
ng
you from DXCC Most Wanted entity #40.
73, CY9M Team, St Paul Island DXpedition."
CY0, SABLE ISLAND (QRT). Alan, VE1AWW, reported on May 28th: "Very bad
news. Sable Island is a Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Yesterday, a migratory
bird (and protected species) was found near my towers with injuries
suggesting a collision with one of the towers. I am required to take
down the towers until an investigation and policy can be developed for
tern season (April-August). Very disappointing for sure. CY0/VE1AWW
QRT . . . ."
DXER ARRESTED ON ESPIONAGE! Several sources are reporting that well-known
DXer/World-Traveller Baldur, DJ6SI, who has been active from all over the
world from 70 countries, was arrested on the Island of Kos while operating

pretty upset and embarrassed over this event. It is also reported that
Baldur is back in Germany, but is scheduled to return for a trial day.
Here are a few Web pages about the incident:
