Sable Island CY0S DXpedition
Just 100 days until the 2026 Sable Island DXpedition gets underway. The Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) has announced a $25,000 grant supporting the upcoming operation. Complete details available here.
We are very pleased to announce that Parks Canada - Sable Island has invited the CY0S team back to Sable Island for another DXpedition during March 2026. Official dates to be determined soon. The team is authorized for a 10 to 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 W0GJ will once again be the team leaders.
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!
