Winners - Yasme Excellence Awards




The Directors of the Yasme Foundation are proud to announce the first
winners of the recently announced Yasme Excellence Awards ( www.yasme.org
<http://www.yasme.org/>  ). These awards are given for service and
dedication to amateur radio as recognized by the foundation's Directors. The
prizes are in the form of a plaque and a monetary award. The winners of the
first Yasme Excellence Awards are hereby introduced to the public.



Joseph L. Arcure, Jr., W3HNK  $2,000 for his long service to DXers as a QSL
manager. Joe's efforts on behalf of DXer's everywhere promote international
goodwill by facilitating cultural exchanges between operators that may never
meet in person, yet share a common bond of DX operation.



Sheldon C. Shallon, W6EL  $2,000 for his work with propagation prediction
software. By making propagation more accessible, Shel has done much to
advance the technical skills of HF operators in understanding the physical
environment of radio.



James Brooks, 9V1YC  $2,000 for DXpedition organization and videography.
James' professional videos make the skills and excitement of DX operating
and expeditioning more accessible to hams that haven't yet tried DXing and
to non-hams alike.



Jukka Salomaa, OH2BUA and Antti Kantola, OH5TB,  $2,000 (shared) for
conceiving, operating, and maintaining the DX Summit, the first widely-used
Web-based spotting network portal.  They created a tool that fundamentally
changed the nature of HF operating, a true advancement of the radio art.



These amateurs have given unselfishly their time and expertise. On behalf of
all amateurs, we would like congratulate these winners and thank them for
their service.



For the Yasme Foundation,



Wayne A. Mills, N7NG, President

Fred Laun, K3ZO, Vice President





Bernie McClenny, W3UR
