Yasme Foundation announces grants to support youth participation in amateur
radio

The Board of Directors of *The Yasme Foundation* is pleased to announce
several grants in furtherance of Yasme's goal of encouraging youth
participation in amateur radio and operating activities.

The Yasme Foundation encourages amateurs to support activities that promote
amateur radio and result in new licensees around the world.

The seventh edition of the Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) conference will
take place in August 2017 in North London www.ham-yota.com.

Over 100 young amateurs from all IARU regions will gather to participate in
a series of programs and workshops about amateur radio as well as inter-
cultural exchanges and social interaction. Gatherings such as YOTA
exemplify the ability of amateurs to work together across national borders
and ethnicities in the best "ham spirit" of friendship. The Yasme Board is
pleased to assist in helping young amateurs attend this meeting that other-
wise would be unable to attend.

Continuing its support of YOTA that began in 2016, the Board is pleased to
announce that it has made grants to young amateur radio operators to
support their attendance at the 2017 YOTA conference, as follows:

- A grant to make possible the attendance of two Ethiopian amateur radio
operators at the 2017 YOTA conference
- A grant to make possible the attendance of two Tunisian amateur radio
operators at the 2017 YOTA conference
- A grant to make possible the attendance of two Kosovo amateur radio
operators at the 2017 YOYA conference

The Board has also made a grant to Kevin Richardson, G0PEK, and his
daughter Lauren, M6HLR, for the purchase of ADRF and HF, VHF and UHF
portable radio equipment in support of their activities to encourage youth
involvement in amateur radio in the United Kingdom.

Yasme has been a frequent supporter of Contest University (CTU)
www.contestunviversity.com.
Earlier this year the Board made a grant to CTU to facilitate the
attendance of Dr. Tamitha Skov at this year's Dayton Hamvention CTU
session. Dr. Skov is a Research Scientist at The Aerospace Corporation in
Los Angeles, California, and is a frequent lecturer in the fields of solar
and space physics. She makes regular "Spaceweather TV" presentations on her
YouTube channel www.youtube.com/user/SpWxfx.
Dr. Skov is one of the Professors at the 2017 CTU in Ohio and her talk is
entitled "The Wonderful World of Space Weather."
