YASME EXCELLENCE AWARDS ---> In 2008 The  Yasme  Foundation  (www.yasme.org)
established the Yasme Excellence Awards,  to  be  presented  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 latest recipients, announced on  26
May, are:
- Tim Duffy, K3LR: in recognition of his adaptation  and development of  the
  Contest University (CTU), now in its tenth year. CTU has  not only reached
  hundreds of amateurs around the world, but  it has also inspired others to
  create  their  own  CTU-format  training  programs  in other fields. Tim's
  dedication to CTU  is in the  finest traditions of  amateur radio's  self-
  teaching and training.
- Carole Perry, WB2MGP: in recognition of her many years of contributions to
  teaching and mentoring youth interested  in amateur radio and her  efforts
  in organizing and promoting the interests of young operators.  This youth-
  oriented work becomes more and more important to  amateur radio with every
  passing  year.  Carole's dedication  to this  work, including through  the
  Radio Club of  America, is  in the  finest traditions  of amateur  radio's
  self-teaching and training.
- Tom Rauch, W8JI: in recognition of his many contributions to the technical
  advancement   of  the  amateur  service.  Tom's  willingness  to   provide
  education and direction to amateurs through his website (www.w8ji.com) and
  other  communications  is a prime  example of hams mentoring, teaching and
  training each other in the finest traditions of amateur radio. [TNX W6SZN]

ATNI FIRST  --->  Rick,  K6VVA  has  announced  that  his  new  "ATNI  First
Protocol" (where ATNI stands for All Time New IOTA) will  be  the  operating
strategy on all of his future IOTA expeditions. Watch the video on You  Tube
(https://youtu.be/2_pQ0_sDeZc:  "core  basics  will   be    translated  into
multiple  languages",  he  says)  and  be  prepared    for    quite  unusual
instructions being transmitted during his activities!

CU3URA 30TH ANNIVESARY --->  Established  on  28  May  1986,  the  Uniao  de
Radioamadores dos Acores celebrates  its  30th  anniversary  by  issuing  an
electronic certificate for three contacts  made  with  CU3URA  on  different

charge and available  to  SWLs  on  a  heard  basis.  Send  QSO  details  to
cu3aa.azores[@]gmail.com. [TNX CU3AA]

MUSEUM SHIPS WEEKEND ---> Organized by the  Battleship  New  Jersey  Amateur
Radio Station (NJ2BB), this year's Museum Ships Weekend will  be  held  from
00.00 UTC on 4 June until 23.59 UTC on the 5th. Information  on  the  event,
including the relevant certificate and the listing of  participating  ships,
can be found at www.nj2bb.org.

QSL VIA JR1EFG  --->  Tak  encourages  those  who  worked  him  as  KH2/KU0Q
(September 2015), 9M6/JR1EFG (December 2015) and T88FG (April 2016)  to  use
Club Log's OQRS, especially for requesting bureau cards.

YASME EXCELLENCE AWARDS ---> In 2008 The  Yasme  Foundation  (www.yasme.org)
established the Yasme Excellence Awards,  to  be  presented  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 latest recipients, announced on  26
May, are:
- Tim Duffy, K3LR: in recognition of his adaptation  and development of  the
  Contest University (CTU), now in its tenth year. CTU has  not only reached
  hundreds of amateurs around the world, but  it has also inspired others to
  create  their  own  CTU-format  training  programs  in other fields. Tim's
  dedication to CTU  is in the  finest traditions of  amateur radio's  self-
  teaching and training.
- Carole Perry, WB2MGP: in recognition of her many years of contributions to
  teaching and mentoring youth interested  in amateur radio and her  efforts
  in organizing and promoting the interests of young operators.  This youth-
  oriented work becomes more and more important to  amateur radio with every
  passing  year.  Carole's dedication  to this  work, including through  the
  Radio Club of  America, is  in the  finest traditions  of amateur  radio's
  self-teaching and training.
- Tom Rauch, W8JI: in recognition of his many contributions to the technical
  advancement   of  the  amateur  service.  Tom's  willingness  to   provide
  education and direction to amateurs through his website (www.w8ji.com) and
  other  communications  is a prime  example of hams mentoring, teaching and
  training each other in the finest traditions of amateur radio. [TNX W6SZN]

Z60A ---> At the invitation of the Kosovo  national  Amateur  Radio  society
(SHRAK), Nigel G3TXF plans to operate the Kosovo headquarters  station  Z60A

in preparation for SHRAK members taking part for the first time in the  IARU
HF World Championship on 9-10 July. QSL via  OH2BH;  logsearch  and  OQR  on
Club Log. [TNX N7NG]
