Ham Radio Audio, Articulation and the First Equalizer

After leaving the touring sound business in the early 1980s, Bob Heil returned to ham radio and found the audio quality of modern Japanese rigs lacking. He developed a small equalizer to improve speech articulation, which won a cover award from QST magazine in 1982.

Sao Paulo, Brazil, currently holds the title for the world's largest bus terminal, serving a nation that relies heavily on bus travel due to a lack of passenger trains.

These high-capacity vehicles allow for efficient transit through the city's otherwise congested streets.
