[UK-CONTEST] Noise cancelling headphones

[Chris G3SJJ]

I confirm Roger's comments. I bought a pair after I saw his article 
although I don't need them to reduce amp noise as the Acom 1000 is quiet 
anyway! Very comfortable and excellent on marginal signals and airplanes 
as the guys sez. Doesn't help for SSB though as there is no boom mic, I 
clamp a Heil Headset on for that!
