It is always a bit of a homecoming every year when the young participants in the Dave Kalter Memorial Youth DX Adventure arrive in Curacao at the super contest station of the Caribbean Contesting Consortium. From the 17th through to the 22nd of July, the adventurers' host Uli, DL8OBQ will be extending a welcome to Oklahoma brothers Izzy Russell, KJ5CMP, and Josiah, WD5JR, and their father, John N5VOF. Agnes Wagner, AD8IR, and her brother Ben, AD8FQ, are accompanied by their grandmother, JoAnn, a fan of CW even though she is not a licensed amateur operator herself. As in previous years, the group's log is destined to fill up with several thousand QSOs as the young operators call QRZ under the callsign PJ2Y from the island that is IOTA number SA-099.

The adventure opportunity, which is open to licensed amateurs between the ages of 12 and 17, bears the name of its cofounder Dave Kalter, KB8OCP, who became a Silent Key in 2013.
