In two months, the CY0S team will be arriving on Sable Island, weather permitting. The first flight, on March 18, will have three team members onboard. All DXpedition gear, except for the VHF/UHF gear, will be on this flight. The second flight, on March 19, will have five team members onboard, along with the VHF/UHF gear. Final preparations continue with team members starting to pack their individual gear bags. A lot of time has been spent working with the limited weight allowance on the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft for the two flights to Sable. The team settled on 42 lbs. of personal gear/food per team member. According to our calculations, we are just below the weight allowance for each flight. Nine long ski bags are packed, loaded and ready for transport. These ski bags contain seven antennas, 12M, 14M and 18M Spider Poles, 42-inch-long wood guy stakes for the soft sand, pre-cut guy ropes and other assorted antenna parts. 73, Murray WA4DAN CY0S - Sable Island DXpedition Update By WA4DAN, Murray Adams

CY0S – Sable Island

Team leaders W0GJ and WA4DAN met with Dave Johnson of Vision Air Services on Monday morning and weighed some of the team gear. This gear will be loaded onto the Sikorsky helicopter on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday, Glenn and Murray will meet with Debbie and Ted Brekelmans of Sable Aviation. We will weigh gear and discuss flight plans for Wednesday. Debbie and Ted have been our aviation partners for 17 years. We continue monitoring the weather forecast for Wednesday. Some adjustments may be needed if weather conditions don’t allow for flights or delays flights. With flights to Sable, flexibility with schedule has always been paramount. CY0S team members W0GJ and WA4DAN arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia late Sunday afternoon after a 2300km drive. All team gear is in Halifax, and the all-important weigh-in of the gear will take place on Monday and Tuesday.
