As of this posting, there’s still time to make contact with the CY9C DXpedition from St. Paul Island. The team is scheduled to operate continually until the evening of Wednesday, September 4, 2024. Don’t miss the opportunity to put this three-mile-long, rarely visited island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada—the 50th Most Wanted DXCC Entity per Clublog—in your logbook before the operation from the Northeast Island site goes QRT.
CY9C has been on the air since August 25.
On Monday, September 2, the team’s website reported that CY9C had recorded more than 81,000 QSOs, noting that there will be more SSB activity moving forward.
DX Engineering is a major sponsor of CY9C, having provided equipment including:
- DX Engineering Beverage Antenna System
- DX Engineering RPA-2 Modular Receive Preamplifier
- DX Engineering Beverage Termination Resistors
Watch Tim Duffy, K3LR, DX Engineering CEO, interview members of the CY9C team (“a bunch of MacGyvers” who have been re-engineering equipment in the ham radio spirit, according to Craig, K9CT) from the wind-swept island.
The interview was held Friday, August 30, 2024.
OnAllBands will be posting a complete wrap-up of CY9C in the days ahead.
