2009 Prize winners

at W5KUB.Com

This list may not be completely updated until after hamvention is over. We will try to do it during the show but please don't be alarmed if you won and do not see your name by the prize. W5KUB will be providing the donors with your name and information the week after hamvention so they can then send out the prizes. Please allow 2-3 weeks after hamvention to receive your prize. W5KUB wants to thank again all the people who donated nice gifts to this event.

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.

 

I have sent all the winners names to the donors. Please give them a few days to process. I also copied most of the winners. Please send an email to the donor also stating you won that prize. This may help them to get your prize out.

 

 

 

BM-10   Winner-WB4OKM

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 Winner-KG7SB

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.
