Most of these hams are too humble to talk about their accomplishments. We are going to honor some of the Amateur Radio Innovators who have contributed greatly to the Hobby and to other areas of Science, Technology, Medicine and to the Society. The selected honorees will be presented an award and will be asked to present a lecture at the 2017 Greater Houston Hamfest. http://houstonhamfest.org/ . We are asking for your help in the following areas: 1. Please send us with names of possible candidates for this award 2. Help us get this information out to other clubs 3. Volunteer to help with the selection committee You can respond to anyone of the people listed in the cc field with your information.
