Dang Charles, I did exactly the same thing in 1957. If you had
asked me, I would have told you to watch out for those metal
microphones when using a Windom.

I only made that mistake once! That burn was very slow to heal, by the way.
I clearly understood several principles after that. Close-talking the mic
and over-modulation was the least of them.

This is where those artificial ground things come in handy. But the end of
the counterpoise needs to be where it can do no harm, as that's where the
artificial ground sticks the voltage.
