YL's prepare to 'ride the rails' and march along with Santa

Picture
December 6 will be a big day of amateur radio fun for the YL's of Southern Nevada.

Organized by the Sisterhood Of Amateur Radio (SOAR), area YL's will gather at the Southern Nevada Railroad Museum in Boulder City at 9:30 AM as they prepare to board the "Santa Train" for a 40 minute excursion.  During the time on the train and while aboard other rolling stock at the museum, they will be operating "Railroad Maritime Mobile" via IRLP and Echolink.

A brief luncheon is planned at a nearby restaurant before the group heads over to the Radio World parking lot to decorate their entry for that evenings annual Santa's Electric Night Parade.

This will be the second year that the YL's have showcased amateur radio by participating in the live, televised parade. (The parade will also be re-broadcasted a number of times during the month on COX Cable). 

All YL's are encouraged to participate in these fun activities. More information is available by email from: [email protected]
