YASME EXCELLENCE AWARDS AND SUPPORTING GRANTS

     The Yasme Excellence Award is awarded 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:

     -George Fremin, K5TR; Tree Tyree, N6TR; Trey Garlough, N5KO; and Scott Neader, KA9FOX for their
contributions to many infrastructure projects that
benefit the ham community at large

           -Mark Spencer, WA8SME for his instrumental work in the ARRL Teachers Institute and other
training efforts, development of PIC microcontroller
projects and books for amateurs, and work with leaders in student and scientific teams applying
amateur radio to scientific projects and experiments

           -Champ Muangamphun, E21EIC and Pornchai Semjang, HS2JFW for leadership in the Thai amateur
community, especially during the recent flooding
which helped open the door to the new Thai HF licensing and enhanced the stature of amateur radio with
the Thai government

           -Tomas Hood, NW7US and Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA for sustained education of the amateur
community regarding propagation, solar and geomagnetic
physics

           -David Freese, W1HKJ for creating and maintaining the freeware software package FLDIGI,
probably the most widely used digital communication
software in ham radio and a frequent gateway for new hams who are more familiar with computer-based
communications

           -Dean Straw, N6BV for his contributions to amateur antenna system design and the
development of software tools such as HFTA to optimize system
design

           - Peter Martinez, G3PLX and Pawel Jalocha, SP9VRC for the development of PSK31, a widely
used digital mode entirely invented by amateurs that is
enabling many amateurs to successfully use HF with very modest stations

           -Arie Kleingeld, PA3A; Ad Van Ginneken, PA8AD; and Arie, PA3AN for their sustained
contributions to the Mercy Ships Project

Thank you for your fine work and congratulations to you all!
