Heil received the first ever ‘Live Sound Pioneer Award’ at the Audio Engineering Society Convention for many of the technologies still used by today’s performing groups. Bob Heil was the International Amateur Radio Operator of the Year in 1982, an award held by Barry Goldwater the year before. Heil Sound was also an early installer of the large satellite dishes led by Bob’s love for ham radio and his never ending experimental side. Heil Sound was the 1989 ‘USA Satellite Dealer Of The Year’ and was on the original test team for today’s 18 “RCA DirecTV dish system? Heil installed the very first DSS System which was installed at the St. Louis office of Bob Costas.
