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.


Good morning guys,

i just rx a phone call from Caracas , the group had an incident in the island.
YV5LIX one of the operators suffered a hart attack and did not survived it; The
navy send back the ship helipcopter and picked up Ramon YV5EED one of the MD
with the operation and the body of Jose YV5LIX. Ramon will be taking Jose body
back to Caracas.

In memory of Jose, the expedition has changed their call to YX0LIX - I am at the
office, but if there is any questions I can be reached on my cell - please pass
this information around.

Sorry to deliver this bad news.

Steve
