Inner View

Shirley (VK5YL) President of ALARA (Australian Ladies Amateur Radio Association) and Tina Secretary of ALARA , had a chat on Radio Adelaide in Inner View (4:30 pm ACST Wed 29 April 2026).

In this Inner View chat, Shirley and Tina shared with us, experiences... the excitement of making contact with people all over the world and locally through amateur radio/HAM radio, the social aspect and goodwill within the amateur radio community that exists beyond being part of any particular amateur radio club … support provided in belonging to an amateur radio club like ALARA - Australian Ladies Amateur Radio Association, ranging from technical, on air and in person get togethers … have fun choosing callsigns, learning acronyms and initials like YL and OM, that VK is designated for Australia, 5 for South Australia ... how changes to barriers of entry have changed over the years making getting involved with amateur radio more accessible, providing opportunities to stay socially connected with the world, converse, or experiment with the technical aspects of amateur radio … and be able to communicate during times of need when other communication is down.

Thank you, Shirley and Tina, for having a chat and sharing your experiences with us.
