Two young amateurs who are already experienced DXers and DXpeditioners have been given the responsibility of helping guide support for future DXpeditions to top entities around the world. Violetta Latham, KN2P, and Max Freedman, N4ML, are now among the panel of directors who will oversee ways the private Northern California DX Foundation can provide financial support to those teams.

Violetta's earliest DXpeditions include the Dave Kalter Memorial Youth DX Adventure in Curacao in 2018. According to her page on QRZ.com, she is scheduled to be part of the ZK3 team going to Tokelau in the South Pacific in November of this year and to South Georgia for the VPØSG DXpedition in March of 2027. Max's recent DXpeditions include this year's 3YØK activation of Bouvet Island, where he was the youngest member of the team, and his activation in Curacao as PJ2/N4ML.

Their selection underscores the importance of bringing younger hams into the DXpedition universe.

At the same meeting held on the 20th of April, the board accepted the resignation of George Wallner, AA7JV, who has been a leading proponent in developing Radio-in-a-Box technology for the DX community. His replacement is Gregg Marco, W6IZT, who has developed a Next Generation Radio-in-a-Box system that has been enabling more young hams around the world to become involved in DXpeditions via remote access. He has also led DXpedition teams that included young amateurs.
