THAT - W A S F U N !!!
Rather than go all out with a new configuration, I opted for a serious but
short of full-time BIC (butt in chair) commitment. I'll put a full write up on
my blog tomorrow and post a link.
In the meantime...

RadioSport RS-60CF headset - the most comfortable bar none I've tried to date.
A word about the radio...
CQP is a busy contest - the bands are full - not as full as they can be but its
still a battle for elbow space. Operating adjacent to high power stations is
expected and I wasn't disappointed. But even seeing the signals on the pan
adaptor, the clean ones I couldn't hear AND the weakest, of weakest callers
still popped out of the noise.
This radio simply ROCKS!
What is also very cool is the fatigue factor - its WAY, WAY less, In my first
review of the 6700 I said that the radio was the clearest I've ever used and it
is! I still loath this non-scientific discussion but you have to use this radio
in battle to experience it.
Woo-hoo!!!!!!! - Thanks for all the Q's!
