[CQ-Contest] GLASSES & HEADPHONES

[Jeff Maass]

I've had a similar pair of Telex headphones for 25
years, but can't use them any more, since they are
monophonic, and all the current radios I use require
stereo headphones to differentiate receiver and
sub-receiver audio.

Looking at the brochure, these appear to be mono, too.
True?
