Sadly some of our ladies became silent keys happily new operators have joined our ranks and we applaud those recognized with awards. Hello Ladies the year end is with us again! And quite a year it's been. We all voted to do it again next year! So if you missed it this year, no worries, joi us for the first weekend in Oct, 2020. We had 9 YLs, Virginia NV5F-Texas, Barbara KD0WAU- Kansas, Vonnie KE5RKC-Oklahoma, Leah W3LEO-Oklahoma, Mary AE6Q-Texas, Andi KG5YUJ-Oklahoma, Amy K5AME-Oklahoma, Kelsee KF5RRG-Okahoma and myself Michelle W5MQC-Oklahoma. In total we made 96 contacts in 24 different states and Mexico. We tried to get the tents down before the rain hit, so we could keep them dry. Nope, about 5:30 am in the morning, the winds started whipping up. We thought we would have time to take things down before the rain came. We knew that they were supposed to hit us on Sunday morning. Lightening storms had been dancing all around us, but fortunately not coming in our direction. We called CQ for the “all YL weekend” with the call sign WW2SUB until well after dark on Saturday. The problem continued? We soon discovered we had a bad cable. We experienced difficulty trying to call CQ from the museum and thinking it was an antenna problem, the Mosley came down and the Scout went up. I should mention that the mosquitoes were the size of humming birds and it seemed like there were millions of them. Next, we set up the Mosley Antenna, while Barb got the antenna on the RV going. The antenna had been under water with debris in the tower for about 3 weeks during the floods. In setting up the radio station in the tent, we raised the hex beam antenna to about 67 feet and the controls started smoking! We left it at 67 feet. Saturday morning, we set up 3 stations one in a tent down by the submarine and the Radio Wavz hex beam antenna one in the RV with an end fed dipole and one in the museum using a Mosley antenna on a trailer. We set up the sleep/live in tents and the radio tent on Friday evening, then we all went out to dinner. Since the YL group could not sleep in the submarine, some of the ladies stayed in hotels, some in their RV's and some in tents.

With a lot of help from several agencies, the USS Batfish was secured and prevented from moving any further. In fact, there was a lot of concern that she would head down river towards the Webber Falls Dam. In the Spring of this year (2019), Muskogee Oklahoma, much like a lot of the US Midwest, suffered major flooding along the Arkansas River causing the USS Batfish to break from her moorings and float from her dry-docked position in the memorial grounds. We were originally going to call CQ, in memory of the USS Sea Wolf, which sunk 75 years ago calling CQ for the “Lost 52” Wow! What a great time we had at the meet up at the USS Batfish!įrom October 4-6, 2019 Yls from YLRL-District 5 got together at the War Memorial Museum, home of the USS Batfish. She created a special sculpture just for Infernum coming to theaters December, 2019. Now her sculptures are being used in a Hollywood movie, INFERNUM. Bobbie, originally from Winterbach, near Stuttgart, has exhibited across the world. Rita “Bobbie” Habermann, NH6RH, who lives in Hawaii and Luxembourg, exhibited her most recent sculptures at a winery on the Moselle river on the border between Germany and Luxembourg. There were lectures, presenttions, demonstrations, representations by working groups and associations, exhibitions and a market for new and 'used' goods.There was a Youth area set up in collaboration with Youth groups such as the Fox Hunters, JOTA (scouts) and YOTA (Youth on the air).Ī number of Young Ladies supported the event at Zwolle and the black-pink colours of the Proud 2B PI4YLC group were well represented įrom left to right: Dieuwertje PD4JUF, Heather PD3GVQ, Lisa PA2LS, Claudia PA5CT, Suzan PD3SZN, Hella PD0HWE, Sonja PD4SON, Ria PA1MHF and her daughter Ilse (photo made by Lennart PA2LEN).
