[TenTec] Long mic cables for Studio 1 on boom

[Troy, W6HV]

 I built an extension using computer cable. Mounted a four pin mike 
connector in a small aluminum project box. The mike cord then plugs into the 
jack. Inside the box each wire is wound on small toroids. Also included is a 
small jack to allow a hand switch for push to talk.
