I'm certainly flattered, and then some, to find myself on John's list, 
and pleased to see other currently-active disseminators of information 
(Wayne Heinen, Paul Swearingen) on there as well.

A couple more that I'd add to the honor roll, if I might:

Fred Vobbe has been the driving force behind the DX Audio Service for 
more than two decades now, breaking down the barriers that have kept 
visually-impaired DXers from full access to the wealth of information 
available to sighted DXers. His audio publication, in turn, has given a 
forum for Mark Durenberger's explorations of the history of the clear 
channels and of clear-channel DXing, John Bowker's travels around 
America collecting station IDs, and other wonderful material that might 
otherwise have gone unshared.

Phil Bytheway does a great job not only on IRCA's publications but also 
on a little club newsletter called "Decalcomania," a monthly must-read 
for those passionate about not only the long-distance listening but the 
programming on all those stations.

On the FM/TV side, Mike Bugaj has kept the VUD thriving, and how about 
Doug Smith and his tireless work to make accurate, updated information 
about TV and FM stations available for free on his W9WI.com site? For 
that matter, there's Jim Thomas' "Emisoras de FM" project through WTFDA, 
listing all the FM stations of Mexico and Central America; John 
Callarman's Mexican AM listings; Fred Cantu's Mexican lists; Barry 
McLarnon's AM database - truly, we enjoy a wealth of information right 
now that I don't think any previous generation of DXers has had!
