CY9 Saint Paul Island – Helicopter operations for the CY9C DXpedition (26 August-5 September) will begin at 12 UTC on 24 August: “the first flight to St Paul Island will be with several team members on board. The first priority will be sending the tents and other infrastructure gear to the island. The airlift of gear will take all day on the 24th. Please be patient as there is a lot of work that must be completed to build the camp. There is very little soil (ground) on the North-east Island as it is essentially a large rock. We may have to drill anchors into the rock to secure our tents and antenna masts. At this point, the weather looks favorable for the airlift of gear and team members”. See https://www.facebook.com/groups/1455659374986029 for updates. CY9C will run 6 stations on 160-10 metres, and one station for VHF/UHF/EME and satellite. At any given time, a minimum of 3 stations
will be using the new SuperFox FT8 mode. Their planned operating frequencies: https://t-rexsoftware.com/cy9c/frequencies.htm. QSL via Club Log’s OQRS (preferred for both direct and bureau cards), LoTW, or direct to WA4DAN.
