I use the Heil Goldline in the Heil PLT and really enjoy being able to sit
straight in my chair with the mic still in the correct position. I mainly
use a foot switch but I also built a little switch box which is attached
with Velcro to the keyboard shelf so I can be logging or doing other things
on the computer and simply reach over with my left hand and either hit a
push to talk button which has to be held down or activate a locking switch.
I really like this setup a lot except for my foot petal. It is the small
one from Heil and tends to navigate all over the place. I would really like
to find one that was big and heavy and would stay put.
Take care all and very 73.

Subject: Re: Why a desk mic?
I've found that most of the all in one desk mics where base and element are
of a piece give me the same problem you describe. That's one reason I like
the Heil microphones. REgular microphone stand hardware works with them,
allowing me to use a standard mic boom or a desk stand and/or gooseneck on a
large based desk stand to get it close to me.
I like using mine with a foot switch as I do not care to run vox here or at
most locations where I might operate. I can attach my Heil to a reguar
floor stand with a boom arm getting it over the operating position without
the stand taking up valuable operating desk real estate.
Since I do a lot of net control work and traffic handling I find this is the
most convenient way to operate. Using braille and a computer I find I need
both hands for reading or typing, hence the mic on a stand works better.
I tried the headset mics with the mini booms but I find they're too fragile
for conditions in my shack.

almost 50% of those at ground zero on 9/11/01 still have longterm health
