[Elecraft] Echo and feedback un SSB

[Jessie Oberreuter]

      Preparing for a performance in a large out-door stadium, my voice 
coach at the time echoed me with a slight delay so I wouldn't freak out 
when it happened on stage!  For hearing what I really sound like in 
real-time, I get a good approximation by putting my palms near my mouth 
and pulling the tops of my ears down with my fingers :).  Best, of course, 
is singing into a mike and playing myself back until I get the sound I 
want.
