Hi Audiophiles,

The only time I DON'T use my Heil headphones is, for example, when I'm 
reading and replying to email, and listening to the WPX SSB contest in the 
background. I will be involved in the WPX CW with both feet, and will have 
the cans on full-time.

I occasionally run the audio out of the MP and into an old Technics  SU-V6 
integrated amp and into an old vintage 70s 3-way Advent speaker. I usually 
revert back to the internal MP speaker after a while, because  to my ears, 
the audio is easier to copy.

cu in the cw contests,

Paul
