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.
