(OHIO PENN DX, IRTS) ** KICKER: YLs STILL CELEBRATE THE MESSAGE OF A TELEGRAPHY PIONEER DON/ANCHOR: We end this week's report with the story of an international group of YLs paying tribute to a telegraphy pioneer. For that story we turn to Sel Embee, KB3TZD. SEL: A statue stands in Cobourg, Canada honoring Fern Blodgett Sunde, the first Canadian woman to hold a second class wireless operator's certificate. Blodgett Sunde herself stands as a pioneer and role model for many women who've followed her path in sharpening their own telegraphy skills, even those in civilian life. During World War II, Blodgett Sunde crossed the Atlantic Ocean 78 times aboard a Norwegian ship because neither Canada nor Great Britain permitted women to work on board their country's ships. Recently, members of the Canadian Ladies Amateur Radio Association made trips of their own - some of them crossing oceans too - in order to see that statue. The visitors who arrived in Cobourg on July 28th included Ann Nutter, VE3HAI, Sarla Sharma, VU2SWS, Suzanne Snape, VE7IM, Roberta Williams, VA3RMWX, and Janet Maggart, N9ZKU. They told the website, Today's Northumberland, that after watching the unveiling of the statue two years ago in an online video they started planning their own journey to be there in person. Such tributes may not have the same sense of ceremony and pomp as the one in 1943, when Blodgett Sunde became the first woman to be honored by the King of Norway who gave her the Norwegian War Medal. But there is perhaps no greater honor than to be recognized by a generation that follows your path, a community of YL operators gathering from around the world to celebrate someone who led the way in wartime. This is Sel Embee, KB3TZD.
