2026 Sable Island DXpedition Announcement
We are very pleased to announce that Parks Canada - Sable Island has invited the CYØS team back to Sable Island for another DXpedition during March 2026. Official dates to be determined soon. The team is authorized for a 10–12-day DXpedition. The team will be comprised of those who were on the 2024 CY9C DXpedition. The team members will be introduced in the next few weeks. Murray WA4DAN and Glenn WØGJ will once again be the team leaders. Glenn is already working on obtaining radios. Larry WØPR has agreed to lead the publicity and fund-raising efforts. Bill K5DHY has volunteered, once again, to handle the OQRS QSL cards as well as being the treasurer for the DXpedition. Chaz W4GKF will be the webmaster and our website is up and operational at: CY0S.com.
Sable Aviation will be providing the flights to the island. There is no runway on the island so the Britten-Norman Islander must find a suitable area on the south facing beach to land. Flight delays are a very common occurrence!
Sable is approximately 300 km east of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Sable Island is a dynamic environment, with an ever-changing landscape, but the current length of the island is 40 km and a maximum width of 1km. Sable is comprised entirely of sand and there are no trees. Sable is a cold, windy and snowy environment in March. It will be a challenge!
73,
Murray WA4DAN
