[CQ-Contest] Headsets w/ mic's

[Maarten van Rossum]

Well, I'm really happy with my Pro Set Plus from Heil but I do only SSB.
I hear a lot of Elecraft guys have pretty good experience with Yamaha CM-500
headsets. Don't how they will play with the FT 1000 but you should be able
to make it work just fine.
The price varies but you should be able to pick them up for a little over
$40,-.
