[Steven Wheatley KU9C]

Folks, just picked this off my email, it's from Steve W4TDA, who is my US contact with the YX0A team.  Very sad news in that Jose YV5LIX passed away during the operation.   My condolences to Jose family and to the YX0LIX team.

As I receive more information, I'll pass it along to the DX community.
