The team is anxiously awaiting those dates.
Meanwhile, the team is working hard on antenna planning and layout, equipment and logistics. Most of the team will be flying into Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dan W4DKS and Murray WA4DAN will be driving to Halifax with a large van full of gear. Pre-DXpedition expenses are significant. We have been informed by both Sable Aviation and Vision Air Services that fuel surcharges will be required. Currently aviation fuel in Halifax is $9.05 for the US gallon equivalent. Additional support will be very helpful and can be made via the CY0S DXpedition website.
