PAUL ISLAND DXPEDITION (Update, dated August 2nd). Randy, N0TG,\nreports on the upcoming CY9C operation for August 19-29th [edited]: The\nCY9C DXpedition team is very busy with last minute details and packing.\nAll equipment will begin the journey to our take off point in Nova Scotia,\nAugust 13-14th. We plan to be partially on the air on 19th August and\nfully operational 20th August. The home page of our website has a link\nfor those who desire to check the log. Log data will be posted LIVE. We\nwill be using ClubLog and OQRS. Direct QSL via WA4DAN.\n\nActivating 60m for the first time from St. Paul is exciting for the\nteam. And, while conditions will be a challenge for 160m, the team is\nenergized to give it a serious effort. Also, be assured we will pay\nattention to the long and/or difficult propagation paths on all bands\nwhen conditions are workable. We look forward to working not only the\nmore common bands CW/SSB/RTTY, but also 6m, 2m EME and Satellite.\n\nWe appreciate the donations and support by many. Even now in these\nlast days, support is most helpful and appreciated. Our sincere thanks\nto all interested and following this DXpedition. We look forward to\nworking you. Thank you.

While the trip is primarily a vacation, I will attempt\nto make satellite contacts, hopefully one or two a day, on XW-2C, AO-85,\nSO-50 and FO-29 along the way. Possible grid activations include: EM03/04,\nEN00/01, EN04/05, DN88/89, DO50/60, DO11/21, CO90, CN99, CN78/88, CN97/96,\nDN36/37, DN75/76, DN71 and DM95.
