The Young Ladies’ Radio League, Inc., K4LMB originated in 1939, when one YL wanted to see if there were any others out there. Thus 12 women banded together in a male dominated activity, growing an organization that reaches around the world.
Members are from all walks of life, all ages and all levels of ham radio interest. Whether they got into the hobby to talk to locally or go around the world to the strangest of places, the one radio interest they have in common is other YLs.

Girl Scouts contact the International Space Station
A group of Sacramento area Girl Scouts had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Thursday morning. After months of preparation and collaboration with community volunteers, the scouts made live contact with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. Communication was made via ham radio with technical help from volunteers with the River City Amateur Radio Communications Society.
You can also contact the International Space Station. Some ISS crew members make random, unscheduled, amateur radio voice contacts with earth-bound radio amateurs, often called “hams”. They can make radio contacts during their breaks, pre-sleep time and before and after mealtime. Astronauts have contacted thousands of hams around the world. The work schedules of the ISS crew dictate when they are able to operate the radios. The crew’s usual waking period is 0730 – 1930 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking and before sleeping, when they have personal time. They’re usually free most of the weekend, as well.
