What a shame that only two women posted. But at least there are some women CW operators out there! ;D But I should talk I don't do CW

Well, if you check FISTS memberlist you'll see lots of YLs. One lovely YL that is an excellent CW operator is Mariana CX1JJ. You can find fotos of her at www.wwyc.net (world wide young contesters) A big majority of the YL CW ops are ex-commercial-ship-cw operators, however there's a new generation with fresh people that got involved with this mode just because they find it attractive. I am not vy good at CW neither, I cannot copy faster than 15 wpm, and right now I am just too lazy to start training agn to increase my RX speed ability ! But it is in my plans to do so sometime in the near future !

Hehe !!! ;D ;D ;D Let us meet now on CQWW next month ! Aaaaaah ! I am looking so much forward to it ! My little radio news: This Saturday we are going to set up the antennas for the SV Field Day that is going to take place 6th-7th October. I am going to be QRV as SX7W which is a Multi/Single station. Maybe you wonder about the date since the normal days for IARU R1 FD for this year was 1st-2nd September. Well, because of the terrible fires that were set on numerous places at the southern part of Greece, the organizers decided to postpone it. and this is how this date came up ! If you hear SX7W on the air give us a call ! ; And something else for Marianna: Mari, when I saw your pictures on WWYC, you really inspired me for following your route and so I did. Therefore I feel the need to thank you wholeheartedly in public also ! Keep in touch my friend !! BS 73 ES 33 de Victoria SV2KBS/LA7VPA

Victoria: Great the news about your activity!... The propagation here in Uruguay is VERY BAD but I will try to find you and make contact!!. About your specific comment for me: THANKS A LOT!!!!, hihi, yes, I hung up some pics for letting all of you know me. Ohhhh, well, you are very kind and I feel happy with all you told the people here about me THANKS A LOT, MANY THANKS!!! I LOVE THE RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I have the 24 hours of the day free, I choose to be on the radio I feel as an uruguayan embasaser, there are not so much "uruguayan YL operators", and less in CW. I have few friends and I feel really welcome wherever I go by the radio (in many different countries) and I addore ALL OF THEM!! (YL and OM) The wwyc is an incredible group and the YOUTH there is "fantastic", all the radiohams there are fantastic, I have excellent friendships!!!. Well of course, I keep in touch by all ways. Vy 33 & DXs to all of you here and for you Victoria too.. Mariana.
