Cycle 25Bob Heil was kind enough to join us live on 13 Feb 2021 for our regular Cycle25 meeting. We have recorded it and posted to YouTube. The talk spans his history with building Heil Sound, the sound system division, and details many of the rock groups he toured with, the building of the Talk Box for Peter Frampton, etc. He then gets into the technical part - the ’Science of audio’ bringing the findings of the early Bell labs and their 4,000 scientists trying to discover why the telephone systems did not sound good….only to discover it was the human ear. This is incredible information that is so necessary to understand for all of us in order to dig out those weak signals. It was a privilege yo have this icon of the Ham Radio community with us!
