The Yasme Foundation, of Castro Valley, California, USA, 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. The Foundation was established in 1960 and named after Danny Weil's legendary Yacht "Yasme", cruising to many rare spots from where amateur radio was activated. Later the Yasme Foundation was closely connected with the radio expeditions of Lloyd and Iris Colvin. |
