[Elecraft] Optimized mic ?

[Julian G4ILO]

Living in a densely populated area like I do and with indoor antennas
- no chance!

If my 10 watts can't make a particular contact then it's no big deal
to me. It's only a hobby, a pastime, not life or death communications,
not worth causing interference to the neighbours. I don't understand
why people have to get so competitive about radio. The ordinary
business of making a living in the real world is competitive enough
for me. Getting my web pages on to the first page of Google search
results is a more worthwhile challenge than trying to work a bunch of
guys perched on a piece of rock in the Pacific Ocean. What I want from
a hobby is relaxation.

The thrill I get from making contacts with low power more than makes
up for the ones I don't make, many of which 100W might not have made
either.

I envy those who can put up towers and beams and run high power, but
it's just like I envy those who run luxury cars, or own a yacht or a
villa in the south of France. It would be nice to have those things,
but I don't need them, and don't imagine I will ever be able to afford
them, so I don't lose any sleep over not having them.
