FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 18, 2013
St Charles, MO
YASME SUPPORTS EQUIPMENT ACQUISITION FOR NEW ETHIOPIAN AMATEURS -
Ethiopia came back on the air May 30, 2011 with the re-opening of the
Ethiopian Amateur Radio Society station ET3AA. To support the re-establishment
of amateur radio in Ethiopia, the Yasme Foundation made a grant to pay for the
fees associated with the license examination for 25 club members. Many were
successful but under Ethiopian regulations could not receive a license without
proof of ownership of an amateur radio station.
To further support amateur radio in Ethiopia, the Board of Directors is
pleased to announce that it has made an additional grant to be used to purchase
amateur radio transceivers for three club members so that they can satisfy the
requirements of the Ethiopian licensing process. The Board acknowledges with
appreciation the substantial efforts of Ken Claerbout, K4ZW, in facilitating the
acquisition of the equipment and mentoring the EARS members, as shown here with
club member Adula at the microphone during the 2013 IARU HF Championship
contest.
The Yasme Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation organized to conduct
scientific and educational projects related to Amateur Radio, including DXing
(long distance communication) and the introduction and promotion of Amateur
Radio in developing countries. For additional information about The Yasme
Foundation, visit our website at: www.yasme.org/

REVISION to C82DX Press Release -
July 16, 2013
Press Release #3
This has been a busy month for the C82DX team. With only 90 days before we
are QRV we have filled the remaining operating positions and added several
individuals to our off site support team. Joining us are such well known DXers
as Bill, K1MM; Bruce, W6OSP, Charlie NF4A and Wild Bill, N2WB. Our South African
contingent now includes Pierre, ZS6PJH, Chairman of the Pretoria ARC.
We now have secured the vehicles and trailers that will take us overland from
Pretoria to Xai Xai, Mozambique. South African members of our team have traveled
to Xai Xai to map the operating site and make a deposit on our rented compound.
Coax, laptops, and extra linears have been sourced.
In addition to our team license, our team members have all received
personalized C92 callsigns.
Low Band operations remain the primary objective and we have secured both
Titanex and Battle Creek Special verticals. We have also obtained the
sponsorship of Array Solutions with one of their new shared apex loop array RX
systems and W3YY FSK/CW interfaces. They join ICOM (our main equipment supplier
with IC7600s) and SteppIR (CrankIRs) as our major donors to our DXpedition.
During the day we will operate all HF bands including 6 meters.
Our website has been expanded by our webmaster, K6MM. If you haven't been
there lately, please visit, www.c82dx.com , where you can learn more about our
plans.
