THE YASME FOUNDATION EXCELLENCE AWARDS

The Yasme Excellence Award is presented to individuals who, through 
their own service, creativity, effort and dedication, have made a 
significant contribution to amateur radio.  The contribution 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 of Directors of The Yasme Foundation is pleased to announce 
the award of the Yasme Excellence Award to the following individuals:



          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 
tenth year.  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.

          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.  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.  Tom’s willingness to provide education and 
direction to amateurs through his website (www.w8ji.com) and other 
communications is a prime example of hams mentoring, teaching and 
training each other in the finest traditions of amateur radio.
