CY0S --- > The 2022 Sable Island DXpedition has launched its new website: www.cy0s.com (still a work in progress, new information will be added almost daily). Formal written permission has been granted for a 8-9 day DXpedition in October-November. "Planning continues to go very well", with K4UEE, W4DKS and W0GJ taking care of the antenna system. "Even though Sable Island is 42 km long, space is very limited within the Sable Station compound. The Sable horses, which number over 500, have free run of the island, except for the area around the Sable Station, which is fenced in. The DXpedition team has a relatively small footprint to work with. Additionally, no antennas can be placed on or near the beach as Sable Island is home to tens of thousands of grey seals".
