YL POTA Party, March 8: Come Join in the Fun!

Posted on by Marion Mason

The international ham radio community is coming together in March to celebrate YLs. Many groups around the world are planning YL POTA activations in honor of International Women’s Day. If you’re new to ham radio terms, “YL” comes from Young Lady, which now simply refers to females of any age.

Marion W1GRL, Joan W1DLC, and Barbara KC1SSY, operating on YL POTA Party day in 2024.

The YLs of the EAWA are planning to activate Acadia National Park on Sunday, March 8, from 11:00am to 2:00pm. Joan W1DLC, Barbara KC1SSY, and Marion W1GRL, will be there to greet and share the fun of ham radio. We hope EAWA members and friends will stop by to cheer us on! All women, whether licensed or not, can get on the air if they’d like to.

Look for us at a picnic table at Fabbri Picnic Area in Acadia National Park. You can reach Fabbri by turning from Route 3 on the Otter Cliff Road, or by taking Schooner Head Road to the Sand Beach Entrance Station, then following Ocean Drive to the picnic area. 

We hope you can join us, but if not, perhaps you can organize a YL POTA Party in your area or hunt YL POTA Parties from home.

It would be so confirming to all the EAWA YL members and friends to have a good turn out! If you have any questions please contact Marion W1GRL (good on QRZ) or use the “Contact Us” form for this website. We hope to see you!
