Ellen White, W1YL, deserves the title of “Grande Dame” of amateur radio
with over 70 years into the hobby. Now entering her 90th year, Ellen is as
active as ever on 40 meter CW. Her ham radio story began as a love story

husband, ham radio elmer, and companion for over fifty years. W1YL is my
guest on QSO Today.
