Magda NL13543 (Netherlands) Department Amateur of
the Year 24/03/2020
Some time ago we received an email from Heather, PD3GVQ, in which she suggested that we choose someone for the upcoming Meeting as Department Amateur of the Year, who had been working in our department in a very nice, good and above all hospitable way for the past 10 years. Heather of course referred to Magda NL13543, the XYL of Cees Rodenburg PA0CRB, who had been welcoming us as a hostess at their QTH on the Bermweg in Capelle at the A37- BBQ for a decade now.
Of course, this proposal was very well received by the board, which is why Erik PE1NOJ was able to hand over a bouquet of flowers and a trophy to a surprised Magda during the Meeting on March 12, 2020, and thank her for her commitment to our department.

Réunion is an overseas department and region of the
French Republic and an island in the Indian Ocean, east of
Madagascar and 175 km southwest of Mauritius. The island is 39
miles (63 km) long; 28 miles (45 km) wide. The island has been
inhabited since the 16th century, when people from France and
Madagascar settled there. Slavery was abolished on 20 December
1848, when the French Second Republic abolished slavery in the
French colonies. However, later on indentured workers were
brought to Réunion from South India, among other places. The
island became an overseas department of France in 1946. Tthe
official language is French although the majority of the
region's population speaks Réunion Creole. Réunion is an
outermost region of the European Union and, as an overseas
department of France, part of the eurozone.
Réunion is home to the highest peaks in the Mascarenes Islands, (Mauritius, Reunion, and Rodrigues). The Mascarene Plateau is an undersea plateau that extends approximately 2000 km, from the Seychelles to Réunion. The Piton des Neiges volcano is the highest point on the island at 10,069 feet (3070 m) above sea level, northwest of the Piton de la Fournaise. The Piton de la Fournaise,is a shield volcano on the eastern end of Réunion Island, rises more than 8,565 feet (2611 m) above sea level. It has erupted more than 100 times since 1640 and is constantly monitored.

DL6SAK Annette, is part of the DX-Pedition TO7DL
Réunion - March 2020
After the originally planned DXpedition to Djibouti had to be cancelled, a new destination was found at short notice. Thanks to the French licensing authority and OMs from France, who made the granting of the license application possible.
Team DK1BT Manfred, DL4WK Wolf, DL6SAK, Annette DL6SAK, Sigi DL7DF, and DL7UFR Frank were active as TO7DL from March 4th to 17th on Reunion.
The team members arrived on Reunion 3 March 2020. They erected the 30m antenna in the darkness and had their first QSOs.
By Saturday (March 7) all stations and antennas were set up. That proved a challenge because the property is 400m above sea level on a slope, open to the north. First 10,000 QSOs entered in the log. Terrible storms on the Sunday night meant that hardly an antenna remained in working order the following day.
After a busy operating week Manfred, DK1BT, left on Friday (13 March) so only four operators remained. Monday, March 16, 2020, (0900 UTC) 34000 QSOs in the log.
Final day of operating Tuesday, March 17, 2020 - TO7DL went QRT after 35660 QSOs.
A great DXpedition considering the sudden change of plan in destination.
March 16, 2020 The planned flight with Mauritius Airlines from Reunion to Mauritius and Mauritius to Paris was cancelled. With the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic to an increasing number of countries, Mauritian authorities extended travel restrictions to Mauritius and transit. Re-booked with Air France to fly (hopefully) directly to Paris.
The TO7DL team reached Paris Airport Orly on Wednesday afternoon (March 18),and transfered to Paris CDG. The curfew in France due to the corona virus restrictions demonstrated its drastic consequences. Hardly any traffic on the streets. No early check-in. No shops open. Hardly any employees, just a lot of aircraft standing around and travellers waiting for the next departure (day). They stayed at the Holiday Inn. No restaurants open, but they warmed up pizza and sold drinks that could only be consumed in the room.

WARO in recess
Disturbing news from New Zealand in this week’s NZART Break-in newsletter is that WARO, (Women Amateur Radio Operators) is to "tread water".
After the WARO Executive meeting in April 2020, there was a motion passed that WARO goes into recess until they can meet at a full NZART AGM to discuss the future of WARO. This was seconded and agreed by the Executive Committee.
Therefore, WARO is now in recess until the AGM being held in Napier (NZ) 2021, where a Special General Meeting will be held, NOT an AGM.
Executive Committee positions will remain the same until then, subs do not need to be paid this year. Finances will be maintained and held by the Treasurer, until the meeting in Napier.
The reason behind the recess is self-explanatory, due to the lack or no support from WARO members this leaves us no alternative. There will no longer be a WARO page in the Break-In
WARO Executive Committee
Origins - at the 35th NZART Conference in Hamilton (NZ) in June1961 the first YL meeting took place. As a result of this meeting an 80m net began on Tuesday 11th July 1961.
The first meeting to form a club (WARO) was held in Rotoura on 10th March 1962 with seven (7) YL’s. Rules were drawn up and subscriptions set. New Zealand became the third English speaking country to form its own YL group. https://www.qsl.net/zl1os/firstmtg.html

Ja-Well-Not so Fine (Editorial)
Losing another of our foundation YL groups WARO (above) needs reflection.
What's wrong with this picture? What can we do to keep ladies active in Amateur Radio?
I realize that their may be problems embedded within different country's regulations and institutions but Hams are an ingenious bunch and have wriggled around set-backs for years.
We already know from various world surveys that our average Ham age is 'senior', so how are we to ensure there will be other generations? Yls are probably best qualified to reach out, after all net-working is what we do!
The world lock-down has shown us that here is no place for –“ but we have always done it that way”. Leadership belongs to the youth. The development of technology means we need the young to steer us forward. Reach out to the newbies, give them special status within our groups, lets not lose them. This is a personal opinion – what's yours? Is this newsletter doing enough?
Please share your ideas and thoughts. Better yet send articles and pictures.
Feedback appreciated – good or bad – just as long as we move forward.
