Ellen White learned Morse Code while in high school, during WW-II. In 1946 she was first licensed and has since been active on CW as W2RBU W6YYM KH6QI W1YYM and W1YL. For 25 years Ellen was on the staff of the American Radio Relay League. Her activity over the years has included DXCC WAZ. She was instrumental in establishing two active contest clubs, Murphy’s Marauders (which evolved into the Yankee Clipper Contest Club) and the Florida Contest Club. Her OM was W1CW of DXCC management fame (now SK) and son K4OJ, Florida Contest Club president (now SK). Ellen spent many years recording QST on tape for sightless hams, through the US Library of Congress talking book program. For several years she has been using the W7RN remote in Nevada to stay active on 40 meter CW as W1YL/7, usually on 40 meter CW around 1000Z.
