KICKER: THREADS OF FRIENDSHIP AMONG YLS

NEIL/ANCHOR: Finally, we consider friendship, a common thread among radio
amateurs. We close with this story about certain threads that have made
their way into cross-stitch creations of a talented YL in the Philippines.
Here's Caryn Eve Murray, KD2GUT.

CARYN: Theresa Aniceto, DW3TRZ, knows her way around the dots and dashes
of CW. Lately, though, when she has wanted to say thank you to other YLs
for their help and friendship, she's been using Xs instead. These are
tiny, carefully crafted Xs that make up the cross-stitch needlework pieces
she has been sending her far-away friends, incorporating their call signs
and the word "Mabuhay" (ma-BOO-hay) which, in the Philippines, is a
welcoming wish for a good life.

Unfortunately, Theresa has been off the air lately, so her connections
have been limited to email and social media.

THERESA: My last transmission was first week of December last year. I
think I pushed my rig too much on the CQWWCW contest, and after that,
something went wrong.

CARYN: While her rig awaits repairs, her friendships in the Young Ladies
Radio League remain intact. The cross-stitching serves as a variation on
the QSL card.

THERESA: The Young Ladies, they are really helpful in their support,
especially on Facebook. So they have been very supportive and encouraging.

CARYN: Hams are no stranger to homebrew of course, but this kind of
homebrew is created with a needle and thread -- and that's something
special in this worldwide community of YLs.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Caryn Eve Murray, KD2GUT.
