I don't mean contributions in the sense of Ed's work on the BPL
comments package. One of the rationales proffered over and over again
by the NCI types for deleting the code tests has been that
eliminatinating the code tests will bring flocks of engineers into the
hobby who would then come up with technical contributions, "advance
the state of the art" etc. Maybe I missed it but I don't know of any
such "event" since 1991 when engineers could become hams without a
code test.

I wonder if any of the engineers who worked on developing surface
mount components were hams...or the engineers who took computer CPU
chip clock speeds from mHz into gHz. Oh, and didn't the hams who
happen to be NASA Mission Specialists, some of whom undoubtedly have
engineering degrees and who took ham equipment into space, contribute
anything to the hobby by doing so?
