Mark Spencer, WA8SME, has just received the Excellence Award from the YASME Foundation (yasme.org). The following is an excerpt from the OPDX Bulletin 1090, December 10th, 2012:
"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:
- 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."
Mark has been instrumental in working with the Teachers Institute, introducing teachers to Amateur Radio Satellites. This has led to students getting involved in our part of amateur radio and the creation of school amateur radio clubs. Many of you have made contacts with these club stations and know how excited students are to be able to make contacts through amateur radio satellites.
Mark's most recent contribution is the FT817 computer interface which allows this HF simplex radio to be used with linear satellites. If you own an FT817, you'll want to check it out. See the October 2012 issue of QST for details. Mark Hammond, N8MH, had these kits for sale at the AMSAT Symposium. Hector, CO6CBF, took one back to Cuba and is building it for use with his newly acquired FT817.
Congratulations to Mark Spencer WA8SME, recipient of the YASME Foundation Excellence Award!
73, John K8YSE
