Hi Rick
What I did here when my Heil headset crapped out was to get a pair of
Radio Shack cordless headphones. I took the boom mic off and put some
Velcro on the part that connected to the headphones and some on the
headphones. Now when I want to use the mic, I just stick it on the
'phones with the Velcro. Works and sticks good and when I want to
operate a CW contest, I just take the mic off and put it aside until
it's needed again. Works good! 73

I put in a call to Heil Sound with the idea of having them construct a
headset with a mic on each side...unfortunately they are so busy right now
with production runs that they could not take the project on...so my
Technical Assistant W4DD will be making the conversion of two Heil Headsets
to make a single headset with a boom mike on each side...that will allow
two separate but equal mic audio sources, one to each rig and the problem
is solved with minimum $$ in technology. Step on the right foot switch and
the right radio station transmits...step on the left foot switch, the left
station transmits. Lockouts are still used from the M-M scenario that allow
only one signal at the time.
So in the WRTC qualifying contests, if you hear NQ4I on ssb, you will know
that Jim VE7ZO is using his modified Double Heil Headset to do SO2S.
Thanks to all who responded with advice and ideas...
