[ADXA] YV0DX - Pirate or Real?

[Mark Sutherland]

>From the QRZ page which was updated a few minutes ago... Sorry

ATTENTION

If you are hearing or seeing this callsign active on the air right now on FT8, ensure it is not a pirate station mimicking the famous callsign, as official operations from Aves Island require military transport coordination and formal authorization. 

This station was last time authorized to be active in 2013 by Conatel but actually is not an active call sign.

There is not any information about any actual dxpedition to Aves island so chances are that its a fake call sign.
