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 Foundation is pleased to announce the latest recipients of the Yasme

Excellence Award:

Ed Engelman, KG8CX

Yasme recognizes' Ed's years of support for young amateurs through the YACHT

program, licensing classes, and in-person mentoring. Many of today’s top young

operators and leaders benefited from their participation in the YACHT community.

Don Jones K6ZO

Don has played an instrumental role in developing an active young amateur

community in Malawi. The enthusiasm of the young operators is inspiring,

especially their ability to train and support each other as they develop on-the-air

Experience!
