YASME FOUNDATION SUPPORTING GRANT TO ARISS AND EXCELLENCE AWARDS [edited]
The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation announces that it has
made a significant grant to ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International
Space Station, <www.ariss.org>) in support of the Critical Infrastructure
Fund. Yasme has supported this important upgrade to the ISS amateur station
since the effort began and challenges other organizations and individuals
to support it, as well. As of late 2018, ARISS is the only non-commercial
entity being considered for NASA=92s Deep Space Gateway program, indicating
the importance with which the space program views amateur radio. Putting
and keeping amateur radio in space is a significant expense and needs the
support of the entire amateur community.

The Yasme Excellence Award is presented to individuals and groups 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 latest recipients of the Yasme Excellence Award:
Brian Machesney, K1LI, and Michelle Guenard =97 in recognition of their
extraordinary efforts on behalf of Commonwealth of Dominica communities
in the wake of the 2017 hurricane season. Their efforts included fund-
raising, delivery of communications supplies, on-site support, and
application of amateur radio technologies to support the relief efforts
which continue today.
Fred Kleber, K9VV/KP2 =97 in recognition of Fred=92s leadership and techn=
ical
skills that support the Virgin Island=92s emergency communications capa-
bilities. Fred has been a key player long before hurricanes Irma and
Maria devasted the islands. He is hard at work today re-building and
extending the interisland communication systems even after his own
station suffered extensive damage.
Zorro Miyazawa, JH1AJT =97 for his extensive promotion of amateur radio
in developing counties. Governments and telecommunications administrators
in Bangladesh (S2), Bhutan (A5), Cambodia (XU), Eritrea (E3), and
Myanmar (XZ) have benefited from Zorro=92s patient and skillful efforts,
supporting his own government and his fellow amateurs in Japan and
around the world.
Stu Phillips, K6TU =97 for contributions to amateur radio through his
Propagation and DX Strategy website, www.k6tu.net. In particular, his
innovative tools, free for amateur use, enhance the use of the High
Frequency Terrain Analysis (HFTA) program developed by Dean Straw, N6BV,
another Excellence Award recipient in 2012.
Randy Wright, W6CUA =97 in recognition of his long service to the Yasme
Foundation as our Awards Manager. His steady efforts and exacting
attention to detail and customer service are greatly appreciated.
