So what microphone did Bob Heil, K9IED detest the most? We'll find out in Part 2 of Hap Holly/KC9RP interview with Bob back in 2018.

The microphone world has never been quite the same since Bob Heil/K9EID discovered what was missing in modern-day microphones, putting the audio world on it virtual 'ear' decades ago. Open up the mic in a modern-day HF radio and chances are you'll find Bob's HC-3 or HC-4 element in it; or some of Bob's handiwork in the radio's audio section. In fact, at the time of Hap's interview back in 2018, more than 100,000 of his HC elements had been sold worldwide.

Unfortunately Bob became a silent key February 28, 2024. In Bob's memory we're replaying Hap's hour-long conversation with him. This is our 2nd excerpt from that conversation. Hap will conclude his moments with the man behind Heil Sound in Part 3 of The Facts About Microphones, scheduled to drop 04-20.
