[UK-CONTEST] Heil Headset

[Jim Martin]

I have just fitted a 'proper' windshield and what a fantastic difference.
It is a 'controlled-density' piece of foam (whatever that is) and certainly
is much better than the other bits  I have used which were lying about the
shack.
Audio reports are welcome after this weekends IOTA contest when I will be
operating from the Summer Isles EU92.
Thanks again to all who helped out
