[UK-CONTEST] Heil headsets

[Jim Martin]

Thanks Geoff and everyone else for their comments.
I have now found the part number for the windshield, WS-PS Foam Windshield,
and asked W&S for a price but heard nothing back yet. On the Heil webpage
they talk about the need to talk close up to the mic (abt 1-1 1/2 inches)
away so there should be enough shielding in the design to do this.
Maybe I will try the Maplin one at £1.20 before ordering the Heil model
which is $4 on their webpage.
Hope to work you all next weekend from the EU92 on SSB and CW.
Jim
