Topband: W8JI - recipient of the Yasme Excellence Award

[James Rodenkirch]

Based on some snooping around @ the YASME site, it's obvious no one is keeping that site up to date - tnx to Mike, W0Btu, for listing the ARRL url  link.

Also, I didn't intend to diss the other current recipients...Tim Duffy (who I believe shows up here once in a while with comments) and Carole Perry (I am not familiar with her efforts)...AND, as I understand from a recent post, our very own Tree has garnered that recognition.....BZ to all!

71.5/72 de Jim Rodenkirch K9JWV

P.S. Hope to hear and work ya in the summer Stew...and sure HOPE you hear my peanut whistle QRP signal...hihi

No more deserving...good on ya, Tom! I've enjoyed AND miss your technical and "how to operate" posts.

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 and other communications is a prime example of hams mentoring, teaching, and training each other in the finest traditions of Amateur Radio."
