[RSM] RSM Digest, Vol 26, Issue 9

[Dan Keizer]

Yeah - I run that combo (TS590S with Heil ProSet Elite 6) - works great for
contesting.
I also use the Heil 10 desk MIC for other contacts - great audio too.
I hear lots of guys like the 7300 and are moving to it .. I haven't used
one yet, so I guess I'll have to drop off at the WSC site and get an
instruction on it to see how it works ... maybe you'll hear WSC on some
contests in the next while ;-)
