We celebrate the remarkable legacy of Bob Heil, a true pioneer in the ham radio community. As the founder of Heil Sound, Bob revolutionized audio technology, bringing unparalleled clarity and innovation to the airwaves. His passion for the hobby didn’t stop there; through the creation of Ham Nation, he fostered a global community of enthusiasts, sharing knowledge and inspiring countless individuals. Bob’s dedication and ingenuity have left an indelible mark on the world of ham radio, and we are profoundly grateful for his enduring contributions.
Tonight the Ham Nation crew brings you the news you can use in amateur radio. Gordo has new Short Shots, Josh talks about the upcoming International DX Convention. Don has Amateur Radio Newsline and updates on #YHOTY. Amanda will round out the episode with our new segment #hamitorcramit

If you’re thinking about purchasing a hex beam, VHQHEX should probably be on your list to consider. Especially if you live in high-wind, snowy or icy regions. The VHQHEX is without a doubt the most over-engineered hex beam I have ever seen. https://www.vhqhex.com/
