 CY0X SABLE ISLAND UPDATE

We have now added the 6m Es propagation data charts between CY0 and Europe to the CY0X web page ( www.cy0x.com ). The bar graph data for each country shows the number of Es QSOs during our operating period of June 25th through July 7th over the period 1999-2007 on the left hand side, and the UTC time on the bottom. We hope this may be of interest to those trying to work us. Many thanks to Adrian, EA5/G0KOM our talented webmaster! 73, Pete VE3IKV, Dick K5AND, and Chris W3CMP
