From Every Blade of Grass we get the news. Bob Heil, K9EID, SK
Bob was responsible for bringing high-quality microphones to Amateur Radio, along with many audio accessories. He was a world-class organist on the huge pipe organs that were popular during the silent film era. He was also the audio engineer for Dolly Parton, developed the Wall-of-Sound that the Grateful Dead used for their tours, and invented the "Talk Box" that Peter Frampton put to such good use.
His company produces microphones for Ham radio, and also for broadcast radio. They are a bit expensive, but very good, and worth the price.
He also ran a long-running podcast on TWIT TV (The Week in Tech) called Ham Nation, that eventually moved off TWIT TV to YouTube. That show helped get a lot of people into Ham radio.
