Prizes will be awarded to participants around the world that tune in to our web-broadcast on W5KUB.COM . They will be randomly selected by computer from the list of those logged into the chatroom.  We will have prizes to give away each of the 5 days that we are involved in this event.  Our live event starts Wednesday morning, May 13th at approx 1300 GMT (0800 Central time). There is no set time for a prize selection. The names will be randomly selected throughout each day.  Please be informed that W5KUB.COM does not have the prizes and will only select the winners and will pass that winners name to the donors within approx 1 week after hamvention. This means that you should not expect to get your prize until a couple weeks after Hamvention is over.

Rules are:

Have fun, be friendly with others in the chatroom.  Once a name as been selected and announced, you will have 5 minutes to state you are in the chatroom and verify that you are really there. We will use the time stamp on the chatroom to determine the 5 minutes.  If you are not there to claim your prize, we will then select another name and will give that person 5 minutes to claim and verify they are there.  WA5KUB.COM will get your name and information and pass that to the donors. W5KUB is only responsible to pass the winning names to the donors. It is solely up to the donors to provide and ship the prizes.

W5KUB.COM has made an effort to try to collect information and pictures of the prizes. Please note that we could be wrong on selecting some pictures therefore it must be understood by the winner that there could be some errors in the pictures. The correct prize is identified by listed model number.

 

 

 

BM-10

The 1985 Navassa Island DX-pedition Team invited Bob Heil to design an ultra-lightweight headset, one with a boom mic that would really cut through the QRM. The BM-10 was the result of that project; over twenty years later, the BM-10 is still one of the communications industry's best-selling headsets

Foot switch

The Heil FS-2 is a unique product specially designed for controlling two devices simultaneously. A typical application would be to key a transceiver with the BLACK lead and an RF power amplifier with the RED lead. Because of the design architecture, the micro-switch controlling the RED lead keys up first as the foot switch is depressed, thus the RED lead turns on before the BLACK lead thus insuring that the amplifier is keyed first before drive is applied from the transceiver that keys up last in the sequence.
