[AMRadio] My BA Station: HQ-170 and Globe Champ 350

Thanks, Russ!

I'll probably go with the flattest response mic I can get (the MC-5 
in my Hiel desk mic or the MC-60 in my Kenwood desk mic). I don't 
much like the sound of either the original D-104 or the Shure 404C. 
If I recall, they both have similar frequency response: -6 dB at 200 
Hz, -3 dB at 300 Hz, 0 dB at 500 Hz, +1 dB at about 700 Hz, back to 0 
dB at 1000 Hz, -2 dB at about 1500 Hz, a sharp rise to +4 dB at 3000 
Hz, and the a sharp drop off to -6 dB at 4000 Hz.  If I remember 
right, this was supposed to mimic the D-104 response (Shure's 404 vs 
Astatic's 104) though I don;t know how well it really does. I've 
always thought the Shure 404 sounded a bit too narrow. I prefer the 
sound of a flat mic, but I'll use what I have for now.

I need to get a male in-line 9-pin mic plucg so I can make a simple 
adapter to go from my Hiel (or Kenwood) to the Champ. For now, I'll 
be delighted to simply get it all set up and on the air!
