District 1 Representative - Barbara Irby, KC1KGS

I was first licensed in 2018 and worked my way to Amateur Extra in 2019, with tons still to learn-I work in healthcare and electronics is a new skill for me.  I have been a YLRL member since 2019. I enjoy local nets, club activities (including Field Day!), radio special events, and public service.  I am an active VE (remote and in-person) for our ARRL VEC-I am thrilled to bring new hams into the hobby and upgrade existing ones.  My OM is Jim, WB4EJR, who has been a ham for many decades and is
my Elmer. We live in Natick, MA, about 20 miles west of Boston.
 
I look forward to your input, suggestions, and participation!

District 1 consists of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Photos from District 1

August 24th, 2024 Yl’s got together for the YL Meet and Greet at the Northeast HamXposition (the ARRL New England Division Convention). YLs came and went, but we took a photo of who was there at some point!  We shared what we liked in amateur radio, the challenges we faced as YLs and the support we can get from each other.
