[ICOM] Boom Microphones

[Bill NY9H]

officemax  has a nice clip on gooseneck lamp for  $ 9.99 ;
i like the black gooseneck... stuff the electret ( RS 3.00) into the 
old lamp socket space..  or in the socket...  grab a round windscreen 
from an old mic
presto...  then figure which way you want to mount the gooseneck.
  I have it coming from a shelf directly in front of the 
radios...swiveling out of the way...when not in use,,,
