Who The Radio Ladies Are The term Young Lady (YL) refers to any licensed female amateur radio operator regardless of age. The Crossroads of America Amateur Radio Ladies Association (CAARLA) is an association of Amateur Radio YL's from Terre Haute, IN and the surrounding area, and is an affiliated club of the Young Ladies Radio League (YLRL), an international organization of YL's. CAARLA is also a member of the Indiana Radio Club Council.
Membership in the YLRL is encouraged but is not required for membership in CAARLA. At least 50% of the full members of CAARLA must be current YLRL members in order for CAARLA to maintain their YLRL affiliation.
Why The Radio Ladies Are The Crossroads of America Amateur Radio Ladies Association exists to encourage and assist YL's throughout Terre Haute and the surrounding area to participate in the hobby known as Amateur Radio (a.k.a. "Ham" Radio). There are a variety of interests to offer licensed YL's, including, but not limited to: Traffic Handling, Public Service, Contests, Awards, DX, etc. Of course, there are the infinite benefits derived from just plain ragchewing and the resulting friendships.
What The Radio Ladies Do The Crossroads of America Amateur Radio Ladies Association sponsors and otherwise carries out programs to promote YL interest, appreciation, and understanding of radio communications and electronics. Through these programs, it encourages YL's to advance and improve their skills as Amateur Radio operators.E-Mail Mail List: One of the services provided by CAARLA is an e-mail mailing list hosted by QTH.net. This list provides a means for YL's and other interested amateurs to exchange ideas and to discuss amateur radio topics, particularly those of interest to YL's. In addition, CAARLA uses this list to distribute news and meeting announcements to the membership. To subscribe to the e-mail list, visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/caarla.
