The record-breaking Dave Kalter Youth DX Adventure for 2025 is complete with 9,016 contacts. Everyone made it home safely, bug-bitten, sunburned, and exhausted! It was quite a successful trip with 4 youth, 2 parent/grandparent, and 2 trip leaders. What a great crew as the youth were very dedicated and spent a lot of time in the operator chair and giving each other breaks. At times, we had four radios on the air, but most of the time, only three. Continuous operations ran from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday, they operated from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. before going sightseeing. The plan was to operate from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. that evening, but we experienced a station issue caused us to go QRT. Luckily, it was easy for Uli, DL8OBQ, our station representative to fix but we needed to start packing (Images below).
