OL88YL - (Guest Op: TA7YLY) Czech Rep.

TA7YLY Merzuke participated in YL activity in the Czech Republic from August 4-10 and worked with the call sign OL88YL. Read the text written by her.

In amateur radio, the role of female operators has become more than just a hobby or technical skill; it has become a symbol of friendship and solidarity. The YL event we attended in the Czech Republic from August 4th to 10th brought together 22 female operators from different countries. This event was not just about the moments spent behind the radio; it was also a celebration of the strong bonds, friendships, and shared values built between countries and cultures. Meeting the women whose voices I had heard on the frequencies in person, spending time together through wonderful activities, and enjoying delicious meals became one of the most special memories of my life.


In this special gathering, we once again understood the importance of women in amateur radio. We are not just operators; we are also a beacon of friendship at the heart of this great community. The work we did at the OK5Z station, supported by our sponsors IARU R1, USKA, Yasme Foundation, RL Radio Amateurs du Luxembourg, OK5Z, OK2ZA, OK2ZI, and the Thiemann family, further strengthened this sense of sisterhood.


The most valuable thing left from this event was the friendships we formed and the support we gave each other. We are deeply honored to be part of this community. The friendships and memories we shared at this event will remain in my heart for a lifetime. I have missed them dearly since the day we parted with tears in our eyes.
