A good time to ask the question, as the BMHA (Bicycle Mobile Hams of
America) has just finished indexing our newsletter back-issues. There is
not a lot on helmet-mounted microphones, but there is some interesting
information (search the newsletter index by the topics "Gear" or "Product
Review", some under "Letters"). My own personal choice is an in-the-ear
microphone/speaker combination (yes, there is nothing in front of my mouth).
The BMHA website is at http://www.LaFetra.com/BMHA and you should easily be
able to navigate to the subject index of backissues. The site is geared
toward bicycling ham-radio operators (which requires an FCC license), but
much of the microphone/antenna technology can be adapted to FRS, Citizen's
Band, or other unlicensed radio services.
