Sable Island DXpedition

Duane, WV2B, has announced that a group is in the
early stages of planning a DXpedition to Sable Island during 2009.

Currently, there are four operators mentioned:
Duane WV2B (CW/SSB), Rich AI5P (CW/SSB), Dick VE1AI (CW/SSB) and Scott KA3QLF (RTTY/SSB).

The callsign to be used is CY0ZZ.

Activity will be on 160-6 meters and they plan to have a minimum of 3 stations on the air. A dedicated 6 meter station is a possibility.

QSL routes are: AI5P/CY0 via AI5P, CY0ZZ via KA3QLF or VK4AAR for VK, JA, etc.. stations.

The team is looking for sponsors to help them cover the large cost of chartering the Britain Norman Islander aircraft which must be used to land on the beach at Sable Island. The cost of this charter alone will be nearly $10,000.
