Heil Sound Donates Microphones, Accessories to W1AW and W1HQ

Thanks to the generosity of Bob Heil, K9EID, of Heil Sound Ltd, the Maxim Memorial Station W1AW and the Laird Campbell Memorial Headquarters Operators Club station W1HQ have some spiffy new audio gear. Heil Vice President for Amateur Sales and Marketing Chip Margelli, K7JA, visited ARRL HQ January 29 to present the donations.

W1AW Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, commented: “We thank Bob Heil for the generosity he’s always showed W1AW. All of our headsets and microphones in use in the visitors studios are Heil Sound products. They see a great deal of use by our visitors. So the donation of the ear pads/socks will greatly improve the appearance of the headsets. In addition, the Kenwood modular pigtails will certainly look much more professional than the homebrewed pigtails we had been using.”
