Just within this group we have.... Patrick F6CTE who has "innovated" enough to bring us RS ID, ALE 400 and other special modes
Skip Teller KH6TY who has innovated all his life and lately has brought us NBEMS (with others) plus recent build-it-yourself digital mode interfaces. Simon Brown HB9DRV who just received an award at Dayton for his innovations (and he has more to come) Rick Muething KN6KB who , along with collaborators, has designed an advanced HF email system that works (and is free) . Dave Freese - W1HKJ and the Fldigi team whose latest innovations include error correcting methods with FEMA required forms. Rein Couperus PA0R et al with innovations that allow CD ROM bootable emcomm system plus PSKmail Joe Taylor K1JT with new evolving EME modes Dave Bernstein AA6YQ who continues to innovate enough to improve MMTTY, propagation predicting, and advance logging methods. Steve N2CKH who "innovates" continually focusing on new rig functions for ALE (and working on new ALE software) Bonnie Crystal KQ6XA, et al with ham radio to SMS capability via ALE. Chris Moulding, G4HYG for inexpensive SDR Pete Goodmann, NI9N also for for inexpensive SDR Vojtech OK1IAK with more and more innovations for ham applications on a PDA , like Pocketdigi Andy K3UK On Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 5:57 PM, J.
