Press Release
01/01/2008
Dear Fellow DXers,
Reluctantly, due to the current US economic situation, the DXpedition team has 
decided to postpone the CY0 DXpedition planned for 2009. 
While we are hopeful to reorganize the DXpedition {possibly for 2010}, we have 
decided that rather than tie up the funds so graciously made available by our 
sponsors, we will return donations received so the sponsorship may be available 
to other DXpeditions for this year. any sponsoring organization may feel free 
to contact me with any questions regarding the matter. We are hopeful that our 
kind sponsors will be willing to renew their sponsorship when the Dxpedition is 
able to be reorganized in the future.
The sabledx.com website will remain functional for the time being.
Wishing all good DX and 73.
Sincerely,
Duane Traver, WV2B  
Team Leader

Duane, in looking at this I concluded you could get a fishing boat to 
take you out of Halifax for much, much less.

2007-07-22 Thread Duane, WV2B
 
Dear Fellow DXers,

Our group is in the early planning stages of a DXpedition to Sable Island, CY0. 
Further information is available on our web site: www.sabledx.com

We are currently seeking sponsors to help us cover the large cost of chartering 
the Britain Norman Islander aircraft which must be used to land on the beach at 
Sable Island. The cost of this charter alone will be nearly $10,000.

We are not currently seeking any more operators.

Thanks and 73,
Duane Traver, WV2B
