Home-New
The Young Ladies’ Radio League, Inc., K4LMB originated in 1939, when one YL wanted to see if there were any others out there. Thus 12 women banded together in a male dominated activity, growing an organization that reaches around the world.
Members are from all walks of life, all ages and all levels of ham radio interest. Whether they got into the hobby to talk to locally or go around the world to the strangest of places, the one radio interest they have in common is other Women in Amateur Radio (YLs).
2nd Annual Queens of the Mountains
YL SOTA Special Event Weekend starting 0000Z on June 7 and ending at 2359Z on June 8, 2025.
The biggest change from last year is we are inviting YLs from around the world to activate summits. We received a great deal of positive feedback and support from several international YL resources last year, and we hope that will translate into YLs world-wide making this a truly international event.
Unlike last year, we are not requiring the use of special 1×1 call signs for US participants. Of course, you are free to apply for and use such a call sign, but everyone should feel free to use her own call sign.
We encourage all of you around the world, OM and YL, to chase the Queens, and all SOTA YLs around the world to activate. Remember that in addition to certificates recognizing various levels of achievement by YL activators, ALL chasers are eligible to receive a certificate for working 5 or more YL activators.
