Sable Island updateThe following was received by John, K1XN, author of the GoList, from Randy, N0TG: "A challenge for us is to keep the weight allowance under control. "The charter aircraft limits us
to 1400 pounds total weight. That includes body weight for the team (3),
personal items, equipment, antennas, computers, food, EVERYTHING. The "It looks like the low bands will still be very productive ones as Cycle 24 lingers. I personally am pleased and excited to have the Battle Creek Special going with us. There seems to be lots of interest on 160 by the EU's and others as well. "One thing that we are 'not' is experienced RTTY operators. However, the recent few weeks we have equipped our stations with the necessary computer interface, software, etc. and are becoming a bit more enlightend on RTTY operation. We've made a number of contacts and are pleased to have this set up and ready. NCDXF in particular encouraged us to include RTTY. "Web traffic continues to increase from world-wide QTH's. Certainly, we know CY0 not one of the most rare spots..but it does look like many are looking for it to fill in a mode / band combo, and hopefully it'll be an interesting event and promote activity for our wonderful hobby. "Thanks.. we appreciate the support; we can't express that enough!! We look forward to working you."
