Bob Heil presentation to Lincoln Shortwave Club
Bob Heil, K9EID, gave a presentation this evening to the Lincoln Shortwave Club from his radio shack/lab in Illinois USA, via Skype.
Octagon Technology set up the wifi network and presentation equipment for the event.
Who is Bob Heil? He built that box for Peter Frampton, friends with Joe Walsh, worked with The Who, the Grateful Dead etc – get more details from his Wikipedia page.
It was excellent.

Bob Heil at the National Hamfest
Bob Heil visited the National Hamfest, from the US, to give two lectures on “sound” and to demonstrate some of his equipment. You may not have heard of Bob but you have probably heard his work, see his Wikipedia entry – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Heil.
Everyone he spoke to, he thrilled!
As part of his visit he was making a video, which he is planning to show on his video podcast – Ham Nation.
HAM Nation is the new TWIT show about ham radio. Bob Heil, with various co-hosts and guests will cover the excitement and importance of ham radio – from tossing an antenna wire in a tree allowing you to talk to the world, to the importance of ham radio operators in time of disasters.
If you use iTunes you can subscribe to his feed, both audio and video. I was not able to hear his lecture at the show (as the Hamfest Co-ordinator, I had no time to even look around the show as a “visitor” but that did mean I did not spend any money!) so I am looking forward to this broadcast.

It has been a busy day – with no chance to blog until after the LSWC end of show Chinese meal.
This is Bob Heil and his wife Sarah. Bob came over from the US to demonstrate his audio equipment and to give some lectures at the show. The National Hamfest and LSWC took him out to Lincoln for the evening, which included an opportunity for him to play the organ in Lincoln Cathedral.
