JLRS, Japan Ladies Radio Society, is a group of female amateur radio license holders founded in 1957 in Japan by three women: Fumi Abe JA1AEQ, Kuni Kan JA1YL, and the late Kimi Kobayashi JA0EC. As of August 2025, we have 106 members in Japan and 34 overseas. The group is administered by our board members elected from each call area in Japan and representatives in each call area. ****** Our main activities ****** * We publish our newsletters two to three times a year, in which we carry various information regarding amateur radio and any club activities. We utilize these newsletters as a tool to promote friendship among our members. * Annual General Meeting with a social gathering party is a fun event to have eyeball QSOs among our members, as well as to visit some sightseeing spots. A lively discussion is conducted on the operation of the meeting. * Each Call Area Meeting is also held by each area representative occasionally. Various topics in the area are discussed to help our members enjoy amateur radio activities more. * Newcomer/beginner support program called “WAKABA Support” aims to spur wide interest in amateur radio for those who are new to this hobby through orientations and other support activities. * In spring and autumn every year, we hold contests to promote YL amateur radio activities.
