CY0S --- > The 2023 Sable Island CY0S DXpedition team has announced that "a
well known DXer and DXpeditioner", who wishes to remain anonymous, has
offered "to match any donations to the CY0S DXpedition from this point
forward until arrival on the island on 20 March 2023. For example, if a con-
tributor donates 100 USD to the DXpedition, this 100 USD will then be
matched for a total of 200 USD".
Meanwhile, the team is working on the antennas and is "continuing to manage
and fine tune gear based on the very strict weight limitations for the DXpe-
dition. The team is limited to a total of 2965 lbs [1345 kg], which includes
the weight of the operators, radio gear, antennas, antenna mast, long mast
stakes for the loose sand, coaxial cables, food and personal gear. Every
pound of weight counts and this is a huge challenge".
