post-contest reflex.
My "home" computer and my "rig" computer are the same machine. Whether I
am operating a contest, or paying bills, or doing an online meeting or
class, I sit in the same chair, at the same desk, in front of the same dual
monitors and the same radio. For contests, the radio is turned on.
Friday morning I was in a small Zoom seminar. The leader and one of the
eight students were using headsets with boom microphones. (They have
little kids at home, and this class starts at 6 AM.) When in Zoom I
