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 In the meantime the website is embarrassing and, as you noted, woefully out of date.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 -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:topband-boun...@contesting.com] On Behalf Of James Rodenkirch Sent: Friday, June 03, 2016 5:19 AM To: Top Band Contesting; w...@contesting.com Subject: Re: Topband: W8JI - recipient of the Yasme Excellence Award 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 ________________________________________ From: James Rodenkirch Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2016 4:07 PM To: Top Band Contesting; w...@contesting.com Subject: W8JI - recipient of the Yasme Excellence Award 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." _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband ----- No virus found in this message.
