Moving is one thing I hope not to have to do again for a very very long time. twice in a year and a half, and a stop over in the middle of one of those moves with everything in storage for 2 months living out of a duffle bag a netbook case and having a couple radios on me for fun while doing a daily apartment hunt, was no fun. Thinking back it would have been a lot more fun if that 2 months I'd put an HF rig in the mobile since I was mobile more than anything but oh well, by the time I thought of it it was too late. I had 2 meters and 900 MHz at least so I wasn't completely off the air and HF receive where I was staying though the +60 noise level made it almost impossible. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark WZ0K" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 10:04 PM Subject: Re: Headset Mic > Hi > Actually, I own a heil headset from the late 1990s. love the Heil it > was a gift from my sister.
