When I go visit a contest station, I look first at the operator chairs, not
the gear nor even the antennas.
$60,000 in gear and antennas and there are plastic lawn chairs at the op
positions!!!
Cushion is nice but much better is a real posture CHAIR with lumbar
support, easily changed up/down, firmness, angle of seat and back, and good
rolling wheels.
My chair costs more than an IC-706.......... Steelcase.
