[MRCA] WTB Mic for BC-375

[WF2U]

Good luck getting the BC-375 on the air. I hope you'll join the East Coast
Old Military Radio Net (OMRN) on CW on 3570 KHz Sunday nights at 9:00 PM
Eastern and on AM on 3885 KHz Saturday mornings starting at 5:30 AM. Net
Control usually is Ted, W3PWW.

T-17's are available sometimes at Fair Radio Sales.  Army Radio Sales in the
UK has them in stock. The T-17 on their web site is  at
http://www.armyradio.co.uk/arsc/customer/product.php?productid=1387&cat=79&p
age=1 . Some other European surplus dealers may have them as well.
