It was great finally being able to make contact with you. I have heard you several times, but never got through. Your audio sounds superb!
I will be listening for you. Take care.
I love my 139XLR I just wisht mine looked as good as yours. They sound great on sideband. I ran a Extreme 2018 microphone with mine. When I get it out of storage and back in action I need to find a good base microphone.
