Who are the real experimenters?

Sadly there are fewer experimenters around these days. 

In the early days of amateur radio everyone had to build their own gear as commercial products simply did not exist. In more recent times people, in the main, have bought transceivers mainly from Japan.  

One person stands out as a real experimenter, VK3YE, who has always been prepared to "roll up his sleeves" and try things. He has made lots of videos, written books and runs a website.  To my mind he is a real radio amateur. Thank you.
