Our great ARRL DX Clubs and Associations:



I am Dr. San Hutson, K5YY, a team member of the CY0S upcoming DXpedition to
Sable Island on March 20-29th. I have been to over 55 DXpeditions since
1970 and was elected to the DX Hall of Fame in 1983 and have been on top of
the Mixed and SSB HR for years.  This CY0S DXpedition team will likely be
the last one for several years, due to the to Parks Canada strict
requirements in so many areas, and the long process of getting permission
and satisfying the constant changes in landing, antenna restrictions and
headquarters upkeep, wildlife protection, etc.  Thanks so much to our Team
Leader WA4DAN Murray who has been to St. Paul and Sable many times over the
past few years and knows the personnel and Canadian authorities in charge
of Sable Island very well. 😊



We are asking if your specific long time DX club, being so well known,
could approve a donation to our CY0S effort in advance and stimulate other
DX Clubs around the world to donate to help offset the ever increasing
costs in recent months. Air flight costs by specific Parks Canadian
approved  airplane and helicopter reservations have increased so much
recently along with unexpected costs in other areas dealing with special
clothing, food products, sleeping attire, antenna and radio equipment
finalization, all ultimately controlled by a FIXED weight amount on each
flight. Team members  have had to lose weight, downsize on luggage size and
weight, change equipment and antenna scenarios to meet lower weight limits.
Food, water and sanitary supplies have to be thoroughly assessed. ✔



Fortunately, a dedicated *big time DXer ham* has agreed to assist our CY0S
DXpedition and *match any and every donation by clubs, foundations and
individuals*. This is SO helpful to our years of planning of our Sable trip
headed up by WA4DAN, without whom we could not have succeeded in getting
permission to go to Sable for our hobby related trip. No other DXpedition
requests by anyone other than Murray will be considered for many years to
come. Now is the time for your DX Club and your many members to work Sable
Island on many band and modes. Your consideration for a pre-trip donation
as a premiere DX club is why I am sending this email. Perhaps you can have
a special board meeting to consider this request or bring up before your
members at an upcoming meeting in February. Recently INDEXA and SEDX Club
donations were extremely appreciated. 😄



So, I would like to see your Club Logo on our CY0S Sponsor link very soon.
Please pull up our website at www.cy0s.com or by looking at QRZ.com under
CY0S. It will direct you to our website and its several links, including
team members, Sponsors and Donate sections, etc.  Our Pay
Pal/donations/OQRS officer is K5DHY Bill. If you do not do Pay Pal, Bill
has set up a personal team bank account and will accept club and individual
checks to deposit.  Our Web manager/comments administrator is Chaz, W4GKF,
also a long time DX chaser. 👍



Thank you for the time to read this donation request from me and our CY0S
team, and we appreciate your big time DX Club Sponsorship, considering the
added upfront money being required of us in recent weeks. If anyone needs
CY0 Sable for an ATNO or on a certain band or mode, then NOW is the time to
chase and work this CY0S effort from a well known team of   proven
DXpeditioners over many decades. The team members are shown in person with
a brief description under the Team Members link. Hope to see your logo
under the Sponsor link soon. Thus far, the *individual page* of sponsors,
shows 100s of callsigns from  the USA, JA and other world DX areas who have
donated to our CY0S efforts. 😊 👍

73 and have a great 2023 DXing year with increased SSN in Cycle 25 …
