This is the RAIN Hamcast Podcast #113, posted 04-20-24. Voiced by Will Rogers/K5WLR.

[The running time for this RAIN Hamcast Podcast is 12M00S there is a station ID at 06M0S then timer resets approximately every 3 minutes.]

Bob Heil/K9EID was the only microphone manufacturer to be inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. Bob passed on February 28, 2024. This is our third and final excerpt from Hap Holly/KC9RP's hour-long conversation with Bob conducted in 2018. At the end of part two of Hap's interview, Bob talked about the importance of perimetric equalization in the audio chain of your ham station and computer. I'm using a Heil HM12 as you hear this script.

That's it for our tribute to the late Bob Heil/K9EID, who sold well over 100,000 Heil Sound microphones during his illustrious audio career. If you open up a modern-day ham transceiver, chances are you'll find some of Bob's handywork in the audio section; and you may discover his HC-3 or HC-4 elements in the microphone plugged into your base or mobile transceiver. 73 Bob, you will be sorely missed.
