courtesy of Bernie and the Daily DX VY2RU, Ken, tells us the CY9SS DXpedition on St. Paul Island will be going QRT today. Bernie, W3UR Bernie, I received a call from Robby on St.Paul Isl. this morning at 09:00Z Wednesday, July 6 (6AM Local) and he informs me that CY9SS will be QRT this morning. Due to South East winds developing this evening and remaining over the next few days the boat Captain feels, due to the safety of all involved, that the group leave the Island later today. The HF equipment and antennas will be dismantled first with the 6M equipment being the last to be taken down along with the tents. The boat will arrive around 19:00Z and it will take about 3 hours to ferry the equipment to the boat. Hopefully everything can be taken today and a return trip tomorrow will not be necessary. The guys have a very long and tiring day ahead and will not be unloaded and secured at Bay St. Lawrence until around 05:00Z (2AM Local) on July 7th! Again the Mother Nature and the WX seems to be dictating to this DX-Pedition at the end as she did at the beginning!!
I doubt if I will hear from the CY9SS Group until they arrive back on Prince Edward Island on Friday, July 8 because the Cell phone will be out of service when the generator is shut down. 73 - Ken VY2RU CY9SS Team ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
