FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- August 29, 2011, Jackson Hole, Wyoming): "Ethiopia
came back on the air May 30, 2011, with the re-opening of the Ethiopian
Amateur Radio Society station ET3AA. Professor Heiko Schroeder, head of
the technical faculty of the University of Addis Ababa and PB2T, Hans
Blondeel Timmerman, President of IARU Region 1, cut the ribbon in a
reopening ceremony. The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation became
aware that 25 club members were scheduled to take the amateur radio license
examination in late July and that the fee for taking the exam was about
one month’s salary in Ethiopia. Accordingly, the Board voted unanimously
in favor of a grant to cover one-half of the examination fees for all 25
applicants, the remaining one-half having been previously committed from
the Radio Society of Great Britain. Yasme Vice-President and Director
Fred Laun, K3ZO, was instrumental in making possible this grant.
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 underdeveloped countries. For additional information about
The Yasme Foundation, visit our website at <www.yasme.org>.
