    Dave Kalter - Youth DX Adventure - Costa Rica 2017

    The Dave Kalter Youth DX Adventure is just 17 days away as of July 17 2017.
    The team travels to Costa Rica on August 3 returning home August 8 2017.
    Plans have been made to be QRV the evening of August 3 and operating until the evening of August 7. There may be times of being off the air due to conditions as we will be on a mountain top which is not lightening friendly. Also, there is some plans for a local trip to enjoy the area.

    Currently we plan to operate as TI5/homecall so try to work everyone.
    160 is a challenge so no promises. We will have antennas on most bands so check the spots. Our website, http://qsl.net/n6jrl will be attempted to kept up to date. Since we are using homecalls then Club Log may not be possible for real-time checking. We are investigating solutions.

    On this trip, we plan to do some digital which is a first for the group. PSK and RTTY will be the modes. JT8 is just too new for us to try. Maybe next time. Plan SSB and CW. Will have two rigs so going to try to have them both running as long as no interaction exists.
    Antennas are close together due to landscape.

    Look for us and work the kids so they get the full DX pileup workout.
    Have some really good team members so should be quite exciting.
