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

I think there's quite a lot of innovation going on in several areas of ham
radio -- QRP (hardware design, in particular), digital (mostly software in
various areas, including D-Star) and software defined radio. In fact, I
think you could say that even though digital ham radio is still in its
infancy, this is nearly a golden age of creative new work. It certainly is
an exciting time to be a ham.

Subject: [digitalradio] Where are our innovators?
We clearly need to encourage innovation in Amateur Radio. Many potential
innovators may be people working in the fields of Software or Communications
who are not currently Radio Amateurs.
The question is what can we do to encourage people with expertise in these
areas to join the Amateur Radio community ? I'd be interested in the thoughts
of those on this list.
While reading the article below I was stuck by the fact that an Amateur Radio
Innovation Competition had only received one entry. This perhaps indicates
that Amateur Radio innovators are in short supply at the moment!
From: http://www.southgatearc.org/news/july2010/innovation_in_ar.htm
The South African Amateur Radio Development Trust has thus far received one
entry in the Innovation in Amateur Radio Competition from an Amateur in the
UK.
Radio amateurs and technologists are invited to submit projects that will
innovate amateur radio whether it is software, amateur radio and the
Internet, the development of compact HF antennas for flat and complex
dwellers or innovation in Emergency Communications.
