As announced previously, the 2022 Sable Island CY0S DXpedition has been formally approved for this October/November. As soon as the exact dates are determined by Parks Canada, we will release them to the DX community.[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)]
Parks Canada is extremely busy with maintenance projects which have priority. Environment Canada completely automated their Sable weather station in 2019 so they no longer have personnel on the island.[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)]
As planning continues, the CY0S team faces significant costs. This is by far the most expensive CY0 DXpedition ever. The budget for this DXpedition is $65,000. The team will charter the Sable Aviation fixed wing aircraft as well as the Vision Air Sikorsky SK-76 helicopter. The team will require two round trip flights with Sable Aviation and two round trip flights with Vision Air. These charters are at a very significant cost. Additionally, Parks Canada charges for the use of the Visitor Quarters next to the Sable Station. The team members have committed to paying a minimum of 50% of the cost of the DXpedition. Currently, our fund raising is just starting to ramp up. We encourage DX’ers worldwide who need Sable Island to support our efforts.[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)]
It’s been a long six years with trying to make this DXpedition a reality. The team has had to overcome many obstacles. Donations can be made directly from our website. Thanks in advance! 保佑保佑，希望可以搞到1分。。。保佑保佑[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)]
