Sable Island 6 meter DXpedition

The 6 meter DXpedition to Sable Island is now up and active through July 7th.

Operators Pete VE3IKV, Dick K5AND and Chris W3CMP will be active on CW and SSB. The fixed 6m station (in FN93) will use the callsign CY0X.

They will be transmitting on 50.108 MHz.
The team requests, "Please do NOT send your grid square as it consumes valuable time during an opening." The operators were very active this past weekend during Field Day.

They will also try to activate rare grid GN03 if there is a solid opening using a portable station with a 5 element M2 6M5X yagi with the callsign CY0RA. The team will also plan on being on HF on 20 meters and 40 meters, CW and SSB -
but the HF operation will always take lower priority over the 6 meter operation.

The special callsign CY0X commemorates the 225th anniversary of the 1783 Loyalist landing in Nova Scotia:
