information on the long awaited DXpedition to Aves Island (NA-020), organized
by RCV to celebrate their 70th anniversary.

The expedition will take place between 28 July and 8 August. Actual QRV  time
will depend on the length of the voyage (it takes some 24 hours to reach  the
island, which lies around 600 kilometres north of mainland Venezuela) and  on

operations might continue until the last moment on 8 August.
