The Yasme Foundation announces new website and Excellence Awards

The Board of Directors of the Yasme Foundation is pleased to announce
that it has completed a substantial revision of its website at:
http://www.yasme.org

The new website contains information on Yasme s history, past
recipients of the Yasme Excellence Award, prior grants, the Yasme
Awards and an updated listing of eligible call signs. The website also
makes available complete copies of The Yasme News published in the
late 1950s by Dick Spenceley, KV4AA (SK), all prior Yasme press
releases and information about the Yasme book authored by Jim Cain,
K1TN. All readers are encouraged to spend a few minutes at the new
website.

The Board is also pleased to announce the award of the Yasme
Excellence Award as described below. The Yasme Excellence Award is
presented to individuals who, through their own service, creativity,
effort and dedica- tion, have made a significant contribution to
amateur radio. The con- tribution may be in recognition of technical,
operating or organizational achievement, as all three are necessary
for amateur radio to grow and prosper. The Yasme Excellence Award is
in the form of a cash grant and an individually-engraved crystal
globe.

The Board has awarded the Yasme Excellence Award to the following individuals:

- Pekka Ketonen, OH1TV, in recognition of his many innovations, such
as the Opposite Voltage Feed concept for amateur radio antennas, and
for documenting his work in English to make it widely available.

- Hani Raad, OD5TE, in recognition of his work advancing amateur radio
in Lebanon and the Arabic Region and his efforts related to the re-
introduction of amateur radio examinations in Lebanon.

The Board is also pleased to announce a number of supporting grants in
furtherance of its goal of supporting the development of amateur
radio:

- A further grant to the Radio Club d Haiti for the acquisition of
radios to be used for emergency communications

- A grant to the Mongolian Radio Sports Federation for the acquisition
of laptop computers for use in the Federation s High Speed Telegraphy
