ELLEN WHITE W1YL SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER AT THE LAKELAND AMATEUR RADIO CLUB MEETING
On Monday July 6th, the Lakeland Amateur Radio Club hosted Ellen White W1YL, former ARRL Headquarters staffer and a Section Communications Manager, the predecessor to the Section Manager, as their special guest speaker. Darrell Davis KT4WX, Section Manager, and Christine Duez KK4KJN, Section Youth Coordinator, attended as representatives of the ARRL West Central Florida Section.
White gave a very interesting presentation of her amateur radio experiences. These experiences included how she got started in amateur radio during World War II, meeting her future husband, and fellow ARRL Headquarters staffer, Bob White W1CW (SK). White also talked about her experience at ARRL Headquarters of almost thirty years and how amateur radio has changed since she was first licensed. She even showed an ARRL promotional cigarette lighter with QST branded onto it, as a promotional item given to advertisers at the time when smoking was fashionable. This particular cigarette lighter that was given to her by Ed Handy W1BDI, who was the ARRL Communications Manager in the 1940’s and 1950’s, and also did not smoke.
The meeting was standing room only by the time White gave her presentation. White received a rousing ovation from the audience upon the conclusion of her presentation.
