   NA-063 - SABLE ISLAND -CYS.   
      
   DXpeditioners are preparing for next year's trip to Sable Island -- and   
   they finally have a date. Travis Lisk N3ILS from NewsLine tells us exactly   
   when it's all happening.   
      
   The Sable Island CYS team has announced that their DXpedition has been   
   scheduled for March 19th through to either the 30th or 31st of next year. The   
   operation received its approval this past spring from parks officials in   
   Canada but the dates in March were not set at the time.   
      
      
   The group said that it has been fundraising to cover the higher costs of   
   flights between Halifax, Nova Scotia and the island - a significant increase,   
   they said, since the 2023 DXpedition. The island is about 300 km, or 186   
   miles, east of Halifax.   
      
      
   The treeless and windy island, best known for its population of wild horses,   
   is expected to pose a number of challenges during the expedition. The team   
   leaders will be Murray WA4DAN and Glenn WGJ. Operators will be joined by a   
   number of members of last year's CY9C DXpedition to St. Paul Island, also off   
   the coast of Nova Scotia.   
      
      
   This is Travis Lisk N3ILS.   
      
   Operators will be joined by a number of members of last year's CY9C   
   DXpedition to St. Paul Island, also off the coast of Nova Scotia.
