Hurricane Andrew passed 100's of miles north of Aves Island so didn't take out
the tower mentioned. When I first heard about a DX-pedition to that spit of
sand called Aves Island during the hurricane season I thought it a bad idea and
poor planning.
BTW I worked them on RTTY and PSK31 and thought the rude behavior in the pile
ups was a travesty, especially on phone and CW. I'm to the point that I don't
want to tune my VFO anywhere near a DX-pedition.

Check out he pictures from on of the earlier DL2GG/YV5 operation and you
will understand why YV0D operation pulled the plug. I hope the guys are
okay. The following is subset of the URL I posted yesterday.

I recall one caption where he said a communications tower was taken by
Hurricane Andrew including the concrete base.
