Jim,

        The Yasme Foundation website is being completely re-done by the
person who did the NCJ website.  Unfortunately our webmaster resigned and it
has taken some time and one false start to find someone capable of doing it
right.  In the meantime the website is embarrassing and, as you noted,
woefully out of date.

        My apologies to all--and I'm glad you were able to find the press
release about Tom receiving the Yasme Excellence Award.

        73 Kip W6SZN
        Yasme Foundation Director/Secretary

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!

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."
