November 2nd, 2020 - Dr. Bob Heil - A Rock N’ Roll Legend 
													
													
Bob Heil, licensed in 1956 as KN9EID began his entrance into Amateur Radio as an avid experimenter and builder of VHF equipment. Heil became very involved in designing and building equipment.  He was one of the first kilowatt  6 and 2 meter SSB stations in 1958.  



As a professional theatre pipe organist at the St. Louis Fox Theatre he learned to voice and tune massive Wurlitzer theatre organs which taught him how to listen –mentally dissect what he heard.  That and his equipment building skills learned from ham radio was the foundation for his career in building the first large arena sound systems for such artists as Joe Walsh, the Who, the Grateful Dead, Peter Frampton.  Heil Sound is the only manufacturer in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.




In 1980, Heil turned his focus on designing more articulate microphones, headsets  and audio gear for Amateur Radio, commercial broadcast and live concert stages.  Heil continues to bring new technologies to the industry and is constantly designing new and exciting microphone products for the industry.
