har - well I'm still enamored with the late 1960s Selmer Mark VI horns

No chance of that.  Between my Vibroplex bugs and Heathkit UltraPro i'm 
all set for life.  Running phone is too complicated.  Everybody gives 
you hell if your phone audio doesn't sound like a broadcast station.  I 
sold my microphones and went back to CW.  Nobody complains about my 
Ten-Tec CW, they clamor for it!
