Amateur radio operators and assorted other door-prize hounds will line up once again to get into the Amateur Radio Operators Reception.
The two-hour event starts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening of the NAB Show, in Ballroom B of the Las Vegas Hilton.
It’s sponsored by Heil Sound, Broadcast Supply Worldwide and Turner Engineering.

No doubt the ghost of Hiram Percy Maxim, 1AW, co-founder of the American Radio Relay League, will be there, hoping someone pulls his name out of the door prize bowl (though he won’t have Old Betsy with him; the rotary spark-gap transmitter remains safely on display at ARRL headquarters).
(Did you know that Hiram has his own Facebook page? And you can see Old Betsy here. She still works.)
