Hello All:
Fresh from *Pat, N2IEN*, a status report on the *CY9C* operations from *Sable Island*.
I am sure most of you know that they have had high winds & sustained antenna systems damage, here is Pat's update this morning:
/To: W2JV// //Subject: CY9C // //// //Pete--an update on LEO. We've had some setbacks. First, there were logistical issues getting people to this uninhabited Island and dealing with setting up under difficult conditions. Then last night a storm hit. Took out our EME array and knocked down the partially assembled sat yagis. Our G5500 suffered some damage. Not sure of its status; we're about to get some high winds again so we put it away. Soon as wx clears we'll test it. If it's toast, we might be able to use the G5500 from the EME setup. Worse comes to worse, I'll use the Arrow. Please pass this info on to AMSAT members. // //Thanks! // //73 Pat N2IEN /
This may or may not result in limited satellite operations.

Correction: CY9 is St. Paul Island, not Sable Island (which is CY0).

Paul, N8HM
