Sable Island DXpedition rescheduled
The CY0 team has announced:
"Approval has been granted by Canadian authorities and the
Officer-in-Charge (OIC) for Sable Island, for a 3rd attempt at accessing
Sable Island, in early March 2011.
"This time period was selected, in part, due to still having favorable
low band conditions, and also to receive the benefits of projected improved
solar conditions and propagation on the high bands near the Spring Equinox.
"We are hopeful that weather conditions will be improved, even though we
have learned that no time period is certain when visiting Sable Island."

Last-minute update from Randy, N0TG (dated Dec. 12th):
"Approval has
been granted for a 'third' try to access Sable Island. This attempt
will be in March 2011 with the hope that the weather won't be quite
as volatile. Sable weather though is always an issue. With this being
our third try, the link on the Web home page, "How To Contribute" is
available for any that wish to consider this matter which will be
helpful and appreciated. We’re optimistic and working hard to make
this happen.
"A side note: As of this writing the beach landing area
on Sable is still completely flooded from the storm surge one week
ago... pictures are placed on the Web page at:
