Radio checks on the ground, engine running or off, are always "Five By". In
flight, I can receive all transmissions, it's *my* transmissions which are
garbled. I've tried different headsets, wiggled connections (under the
panel), etc. Sometimes I'm clear and sometimes nobody hears. It's a very
sleepy airport with only a few operations per week other than gliders so not
much of a problem.

I have aften thought that my friend Hal would have willingly bought a
radio for every tow plane in the country, had he only known the tragic
events that awaited him and his tow pilot that November day, 2 years
ago.
