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).

Helping with Hurricane Recovery

We are located in Citrus County which is part of the Florida Big Bend. Prior to the storm we cranked down our 50 foot tower, lowered one of our wire antennas, and put anything that could get blown around inside the house and garage. We suffered no damage at our QTH, just some downed tree branches. Max winds recorded on our WX station was 46mph. We are fortunate that our QTH is approximately 80 feet in elevation and not in a flood zone, but those less 10 minutes away were impacted by a record storm surge and many homes were totally flooded. Some lost almost everything. My husband WA1F and I belong to Citrus County CERT team and volunteered distributing cleaning supplies, food and hot meals at our local Civic Club. Water damaged furniture and belongings line the streets awaiting pickup. Attached is our group photo and the other is of my OM, Bob WA1F and Senator Marco Rubio.
 
Donations came from all over, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot and others. We had anything from food, baby food, diapers, formula to cleaning supplies, cat and dog food. Our community came together to help those in need. It is so rewarding being a volunteer and helping those in need.

YLRL on the RATPAC (Radio Amateur Training Planning and Activities Committee)

Radio Amateur Training Planning and Activities Committee (RATPAC) comprises Amateur Radio Operators of a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Together, we host nationwide Amateur Radio Zoom presentations twice-a-week, Wednesdays on general radio topics and Thursdays on amateur radio emergency communications. The topics are selected from audience recommendations that the planning committee then seeks topic experts or discussion panel members. The presentation audience consists of thousands of amateur radio operators worldwide who participate directly in the Zoom sessions or with video links of the presentation and related documentation sent out after each session.
