     contest station, with a lot of hard work, equipment testing but also
     a lot of fun, some DXpedition jokes and stories the team now are out

  *  May 5th:  Our system test weekend went well. We successfully tested
  our radio, amplifier, filter, antenna and tent setup. We run various
  tests that confirmed our setup and antenna and tent layout is ok with
  the given footprint available to us at Bouvet. In addition we met for
  a very valuable team building!!
  Test results:
    * 20m-10m in band tested ok with actual Bouvet setup. No station
      interference.
    * No 2nd harmonic issues 40/20 and 80/40m
  Based on the meeting and all the testing and installation we have created
  a punch list of roughly 70 items that still needs to be fixed, adjusted
  or improved before our departure. Some of the items:
    * need to replace damaged steel wire
    * need to improve manual rotator solution
    * replace some damaged guy wires exposed to high tension
    * purchase tools to improve speed of installation
    * complete software installation
    * diagnose failed cable
    * network issues to be resolved
    * improve the table layout and routing of cables
    * improve the FT8 table location and layout (4xSunSDR)
    * improve the sleeping tent layout (yes we will minimize the sleeping -
      don't worry...)

Operator Murray Adams, WA4DAN, sent out the following Saturday evening:
Here is the latest update on the 2022 Sable Island CY0S DXpedition.....
  "In the planning stage since 2017, It looks like the Sable Island DX-
pedition will become a reality in the Fall of 2022. Due to Covid, the
Parks Canada Sable Island manager being assigned to a special project
and the operational workload of the Sable staff, the DXpedition had to
delayed for several years. On Thursday, May 5, we once again received
formal written permission to conduct a DXpedition on Sable in the Fall
of 2022. The DXpedition team expects to have the exact dates within the
next month or so. The team has applied for the call CY0S. The operators
for the DXpedition are K4UEE, W0GJ, K5YY, N2IEN, WW2DX, K4ZLE, N2TU,
W4DKS and WA4DAN. The team plans to be active on all bands 160-10.
  The team has worked hard and encountered many obstacles during the
past six years. The biggest issue the team had to overcome was the strict,
no overnight stay policy on Sable. The team leader flew to Halifax,
Nova Scotia in October 2019 and met with the Parks Canada - Sable Island
manager. During this meeting a special arrangement was negotiated to
allow for a 8-9 day DXpedition.
  More details will be released in the coming weeks and months".
