The  Radio  Club  Venezolano  (yv5aj-rcv at cantv.net) 
has  released official 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

will be taken down the day before departure, but

August.
