The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation[1] has announced three Yasme
Excellence Award recipients. The Award is presented to individuals who, through
their own service, creativity, effort and dedication, have made a significant
contribution to Amateur Radio. The contribution recognize technical, operating,
or organizational achievement. The recipients are:
Tim Duffy, K3LR: "While Tim is involved in many facets of Amateur Radio, the
Yasme Excellence Award is made in recognition of his adaptation and development
of the Contest University (CTU), now in its 10th year," The Yasme Foundation
said in announcing his award. "CTU has not only reached hundreds of amateurs
around the world, but it has also inspired others to create their own
CTU-format training programs in other fields. Tim's dedication to CTU is in the
finest traditions of amateur radio's self-teaching and training." Duffy is ARRL
Western Pennsylvania Section Manager.
Carole Perry, WB2MGP: "The Yasme Excellence Award is made in recognition of
Carole's many years of contributions to teaching and mentoring youth interested
in Amateur Radio and her efforts in organizing and promoting the interests of
young operators," the announcement said. "This youth-oriented work becomes more
and more important to Amateur Radio with every passing year. Carole's
dedication to this work, including through the Radio Club of America, is in the
finest traditions of amateur radio's self-teaching and training."
Tom Rauch, W8JI: "The Yasme Excellence Award is made in recognition of Tom's
many contributions to the technical advancement of the Amateur Service," the
announcement said. Tom's willingness to provide education and direction to
amateurs through his website[2] and other communications is a prime example of
hams mentoring, teaching, and training each other in the finest traditions of
Amateur Radio."
The Yasme Excellence Award consists of a cash grant and an
individually-engraved crystal globe.
A not-for-profit corporation, The Yasme Foundation is organized to support
scientific and educational projects related to Amateur Radio, including DXing
and the introduction and promotion of Amateur Radio in developing countries.
