It has always been the custom to refer to female Radio Hams as
YLs
(Young Ladies).
When she became the second female Radio Amateur Nell Corry took the call sign G2YL.
BYLARA
is the British Young Ladies Amateur Radio Association and has the Club call
sign M0BYL. There is a quarterly Newsletter and the
BYLARA AWARD
is available for
working BYLARA members and other YLs. Information can be found at

Amateur Radio –

time, you for the
first.

Licence since I was your age,
but I haven’t been active in
the hobby since we moved here.
It’s no accident we came out
this way today…
How did
you…
