Now that you mention it, I use to sell a thing called a "buddy hook",
not sure why I didn't think of it before now. I don't know if I still
have any of that stuff in boxes or not, but I'll look. Use to sell them
to truckers. They were a plastic thing that fit the mike like you have
and had a hook on it. If I find something, I'll let you know.
