Our intrepid yachtie DX member Jeanne VE0JS is enjoying a more leisurely sailing voyage around the globe – she’s cruising New Zealand, and is just back on board after a short visit by air to Australia as guest speaker at the annual Australian Women Who Sail
‘Gathering’ (like ALARAmeet for yachtie YLs!). She was joined by guest speaker Kay Cottee, the first Australian woman to sail solo around the world and I’ve seen them both referred to as “Sailing Royalty”. Lyn VK4SWE/VK4EI<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;"> <b>LU7EPT Ana Paula Tessi, activates 11 Argentinian Mountain Peaks </b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"> by Carlos Almirón LU7DSY 20 April 2024<br>
Ana Paula Tessi (LU7EPT) in June, 2024 will celebrate three years in the world of amateur radio. She overflows with enthusiasm when she talks about radio and wishes she'd found the activity sooner.<br>
She joined the Radio Club San Nicolás LU1EY, where she did the course and, shortly after receiving her license, she began with an experienced group to activate SOTA (Summits on the Air). By the time she completed her first year she had activated six summits.<br>
After confirming the last four activations, a few days ago, Ana Paula felt the need to share her experiences and thank those who helped her.<br>
"our legs were finished, but we made it." We went to defend the SOTA Buenos Aires and we did it. I needed to prove to myself that training was worth it. My face hurt from smiling so much and my belly from laughing; and the realization that there are millions
of summits to reach; and most of all, I needed to prove that I could do it And I made it.<br>
It involved Team work: My route partner LU3DPW Pablo; LU9MZO Diego, the sherpa that pushed us to the limits. I cannot stop thanking LU5YEC Mauricio for my antenna that makes me love the 2 meter band more every day. Thanks also to Radio Club LU1EY, de San
Nicolás de los Arroyos (B A) and the many radio fans who supported us.<br>

21 April, Indonesians commemorate Kartini’s Day. The focus is on the empowerment of women<br>
Raden Adjeng Kartini was born 21st of April, 1879 and although she died at age 25, she is hailed as Indonesia’s first feminist. Her desire to see women freed from repressive laws and beliefs made her a heroine.<br>

3 April 2024 Dear colleagues and friends,<br>
With great regret and sadness, we announce the passing of Mrs. <u>Julia Canales CE2IPH</u> distinguished amateur radio enthusiast. Mrs July was a key figure and a founding partner in our CE2RSA Radio Club.<br>
This club is named after and in honour of, her late husband, Hugo Roa CE2HPQ.<br>
We remember with gratitude the commitment and enthusiasm that Ms. Julia showed<br>
during the 1985 earthquake. She and her husband opened the doors of their home to colleagues and coordinated communications with authorities and families affected by the disaster.<br>
Her influence extended beyond our radio club, as she was also a director at the Federation of Radio Clubs of Chile (FEDERACHI), proudly representing radio fans in the province of San Antonio.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;"> <b>R1BIG Raisa - Spreading the Joy of Radio Around the Globe</b><br>
Amateur radio is a worldwide hobby, and Raisa Skryn- nikova, R1BIG, known as YL Raisa, has traveled far and wide. In addition to being licensed in Russia as R1BIG, Raisa is also licensed in Finland as OH7BG, and in Canada as VO1BIG. She was first exposed to
the wonderful world of radio by way of an amateur radio direction finding contest, which sparked her interest and inspired her to try other forms of amateur radio.<br>
<u>A World of Inspiration</u><br>
Raisa was fortunate to have had great mentors on her journey. Jukka Heikinheimo, OH2BR; Boris Gnusov, UA1DJ/OH5Z, and Alex Sheynis, UA1AJD, helped her explore amateur radio and study for her first license test. Raisa's first operating experience was as a second
operator of the OH73ELK station in Finland. The contacts she made and the way the radio worked fascinated her, reinforcing her desire to get her own call sign. Raisa passed her Novice exam in Russia and was issued the call sign UB1AOA. She later upgraded and
got her current call sign, R1BIG. Raisa also obtained her<br>
Canadian license so she could operate a remote station there from her home in Russia. <br>
Raisa lives in St. Petersburg, Russia, and experiences the same struggle many hams face: she lives in a 27-story building with plenty of interference. Raisa compares it to a hive of bees constantly buzzing. As a result of this, she likes to operate outdoors
when the weather is agreeable, or from friends' shacks when it's too cold. When neither of those options is available, she has the opportunity to work remotely from Canada, thanks to Rob Noakes, VE3PCP. <br>
Videos with a Flair for Education<br>
When Raisa joined YouTube in November 2018, she had no idea how popular her channel would become. The first few videos she posted were about the process of getting licensed, then she jumped right into the contest scene. In her video, "Ham Radio Contest - My
First!" (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/Raisa-contest" id="OWA2d6c21d7-0aa4-f9b9-6349-4320f2a9b886" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable">http://tinyurl.com/Raisa-contest</a> ), Raisa heads back to OH73ELK and works with the team there to participate
in her first contest. The team racked up 1,000 contacts and Raisa was hooked. <br>
<img alt="Raisa-RussianDX.jpg" width="353" height="198" style="width: 353px; height: 198px; margin-right: 0px;" data-outlook-trace="F:1|T:1" src="cid:ii_lvm0xpvy3"></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Raisa & Anatoly RC9O participating in the Russian DX Contest.<br>
Raisa creates several types of videos for her channel. She films most of them while operating portable, due to her not having a shack in her home. While Raisa's content undergoes editing after filming, she usually includes snippets of her preparing to film,
letting viewers see her personality and get a sense of how much fun she's having in the field. One such video is titled "How a YL can set up a portable HF station in the Russian woods" (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/2pmucmhy" id="OWAdc2e757b-dc60-0ab1-90dc-79ccebc7f3ee" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable">http://tinyurl.com/2pmucmhy</a> ),
we see Raisa quickly explain what gear she's using, then go through the process of getting the antenna in the air. The fact that she's enjoying herself is obvious, as she jokes with us through the camera. To wrap up this video, we get to see Raisa make some
contacts with another YL.<br>
<br>
In her video "Ham Radio Ladies - how to invite More YL Operators to join Amateur Radio!" (<a href="http://tinyurl/" id="OWAc9da0fe1-c682-6def-ef42-315ef12c7041" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable">http://tinyurl</a>. com/Raisa-yl ), Raisa discusses
the issue of there being so few women on the air. She lets viewers, especially women and girls, know that the barrier of entry is not difficult. She also explains that amateur radio helps her learn geography and other languages. In one of the few parts of
her video that's not in English, Raisa shares some of the contacts she has had with other YLs. <br>
<br>
<u>CQ Japan! QSO tutorial in Japanese | YL Haruka JJIROE teachs YL Raisa</u><br>
Raisa enjoys helping others learn. In a video titled "CQ Japan! QSO tutorial in Japanese | YL Haruka teaches YL Raisa" (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/Raisa-Haruka" id="OWA559076b3-1cdf-0274-9097-751d72dd7bbe" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable">http://tinyurl.com/Raisa-Haruka</a> ),
Raisa connects with Haruka, JJ1ROE, in Japan to learn some basic Japanese phrases. Viewers get to see them practicing the pronunciation of common answers to questions that might be asked on the air. Haruka teaches Raisa how to say "Your report is five and
nine" in Japanese. <br>
This video ends with getting to know Haruka through a video montage that shows some of her other interests. Raisa's favorite type of video to create is one that has an instructional component to it.<br>
<br>
<u>YouTube Content Motivation</u><br>
Much of Raisa's reason for creating her YouTube chan- nel was due to the realization that there are far fewer women on the air than men. Raisa focuses her efforts on helping other women understand the opportunities that are available to them in amateur radio;
she is passionate about getting more women and girls interested and engaged in the hobby.<br>
YL Raisa is developing naturally and organically; however, it would be unfair to say that there aren't any struggles. Despite not being a native English speaker, Raisa<br>
creates all of her content in English. She does this because English is the language of international communication among radio amateurs. However, some of her compatriots criticize her for not using her native language to create content. Raisa spoke very little
English when she began creating videos, but she uses her content creation as a means and motivation to continue learning it.<br>
<br>
<u>Community Enjoyment</u><br>
Raisa has many amateur radio dreams and aspirations. She wishes to go on a DXpedition, travel to the US to attend Dayton Hamvention, and meet some of her on-air friends in person. Raisa is usually the only YL in the room when attending club meetings, but has
found that members are extremely supportive and willing to help grow the ranks of women and girls in amateur radio.<br>
YL Raisa has built a YouTube following of approximately 15,000 subscribers. You won't see unboxing videos or reviews; instead, Raisa focuses on sharing the joy she gets from being a part of the amateur radio community. If you're looking for a channel where
you can watch some feel-good videos about ham radio, YL Raisa is the channel for you.<br>
