Re: [TenTec] Adding headset boom mic to headphones?

Barry:  It's hard to give specifics without having all the part in hand, but
I know that Dean, N6BV, the noted former editor of the ARRL antenna handbook
uses a pair of Sony MDR 7506 headphones onto which he epoxied a headset boom
from an old Heil headset using an HC5 element. That's probably about the
best combination I can think of for DX, contesting and most casual use and
should work fine on all TT rigs.  I use the 7506's on my Orion II and they
work superbly!

Subject: [TenTec] Adding headset boom mic to headphones?

Can anyone suggest a quick/easy way (kludge) to add a small boom mic to
headphones to make a headset?  (It's for my Orion, just to keep this
on-topic  ;-)

Thanks & 73,
