Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AB5K & the AR TelNet
Clusters Network, K8YSE and N0TG for the following DX information.
CY0, SABLE ISLAND (Update). Randy and the CY0 Team report: " BAD News!
We have just been advised that the beach will not be suitable for landing
this week nor next week. Then after next week, that puts us into the
holiday period. Thus, we have no choice but to return home, regroup and
come up with a new re-schedule. What a bummer!! Certainly 'tis
discouraging, expensive, and we know disappointing to all the Dxers
following the DXpedition and looking forward to having fun. We will
assess the situation over the next couple of weeks and layout our new
plan at that time. Sorry. Very 73......"
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM CY0 WEB SITE: "Sable Island DXpedition Update
(1545 UTC, December 07, 2010) -- CY0 DXpedition Delayed
We were informed this morning by the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) for Sable
Island that the "beach runway" is not suitable for landing and is not
expected to be available, at least, through next week. This is a big
disappointment to the Team, but we understand that safety for our pilot
and the Team is most important.
The Team has met and has agreed that we will reschedule and try again.
We will meet with Maritime Air and our pilot in an hour to arrange for
storage of our equipment until we can reschedule.
We are committed to our foundation and club supporters and the many
individuals that have contributed to this dxpedition, as well as to the
many thousands of hams that need CY0 for a new DXCC country or band-
country. We also thank those who have visited our website and provided
encouragement by 'signing' our Guestbook.
We would like to express our appreciation to the OIC, Sable Island,
Maritime Air, VE1RGB,the HARC, and the Canadian amateur radio community
for extending their hospitality and having offered us the unique oppor-
tunity to visit and operate from CY0, Sable Island.
The Team will return to the US on Wednesday morning. We will announce
our new schedule, as soon as possible...... The CY0 Team"
