Fun Fact
Ladies Welcomed
We now have over 200 YLs in the Club and are pleased to be the home of a YL-only group that calls itself “YL4CW”. The purpose of this group is to cultivate friendships, mentor relationships, and build confidence while making CW fun to learn.
Admission
YL4CW was born because it can be difficult to find and cultivate YL friendships, and LICW welcomed a chance to support YLs. There is no skill level or even licensing required. This is a great place for experienced YL operators, new operators, YLs who got licensed at the urging of their OM, and YLs who aren’t licensed yet but are thinking about it.
Goals
The future of amateur radio depends on diversifying the ‘greying’ member base and LICW is doing our part to get YLs and youth involved. Thank you to all the YLs who are taking an active part in this program. It’s interesting that our Kids CW program is composed of 60% girls. As a Club we will be working diligently towards this vision for helping the future of our hobby through the use of CW.
