[Milsurplus] Throat Mike

[W7QHO@aol.com]

All,

I recently picked up a WW2 T-30 throat microphone at a fleamarket.   Hooked 
it up to my ART-13 and made a few tests with my friends here in Southern 
California.   The universal report was very muffled, restricted and only 
marginally intelligible audio, the same results I remember from the last time 
I played with a throat mic back in the 50s.   The unit was in very good 
condition, BTW, and had very high output -- modulated the ART-13 fully.

My question here is, was there a particular communication technique, method 
of articulation, special vocabulary, etc., which had to be used with these 
things?    Hard to believe they were satisfactory for operational use.   Has 
anyone had personal experience here?
