This sounds great. Is there a website we can see the details of this Yasme
award? (The last time I read about the Yasme (a large ocean-going vessel!)
was in old CQ magazines before I was licensed.)
If it weren't for Tom, I'm not even sure that I would have remained very
active as a ham. In any case, I enjoy amateur radio much more thanks to all
the things I've learned from him. He's provided the amateur community with
a vast amount of useful information that is simply unavailable anywhere
else, either in print or on the Web.
*That's just as fact.*
I just wish that I'd see some posts here again from him. :-)
73, Mike
