CY0 - SABLE ISLAND, NA-063
The DXpedition to Sable (NA-063) Island which has been well planned
and postponed for several times will take place from Dec 6-13 now.
The team includes Ron,CY0/AA4VK, Randy,CY0/N0TG, and Murray,CY0/WA4DAN.
Murray only takes part because the DXpedition has been postponed a few
times. They plan to work with three stations simultaneously on 160m-6m
in CW, SSB and RTTY. They will use a "Battle Creek Special" on 40m, 80m
and 160m but have also three verticals, at least one wire and a yagi.
All direct QSLs should be sent to N0TG, bureau QSLs via the homecalls.
They ask everybody to use the "Online QSL Request Service" (OQRS) on
the DXpedition website for direct- or bureau QSLs. Please click on
"How to QSL" at: http://www.CY0dxpedition.com
