[Elecraft] Koss SB-45 Headset, update on comfort

[n3xx at charter.net]

Most operation here is CW & digital, and sometimes SSB, so I need to be 
able to move the mic up and out of the way when not needed.  Can any 
SB45 users tell me if the mic can be moved to a full vertical position? 
  I have looked at pictures, but can't tell how far it will move.

Tnx & 73,
Tim - N3XX
