[amsat-bb] Pass recording

[Ryan Noguchi]

 I currently operate almost completely pedestrian-portable, and record by hand when receiving, not while transmitting. I also record ambient sound as a backup. When operating the linears portable or when operating AO-92 in L/v mode, I use the TH-D74A as a receiver, and use its built-in recording capability to capture the downlink audio. 

I'm currently setting up a fixed station too, with computer VFO control (and hopefully, in the near future, automated rotor control) and expect the cognitive load will be significantly reduced compared to operating pedestrian-portable with everything (pointing, polarization, and tuning) done manually. You may find it feasible to log by hand in real time when operating your fixed station, even if you've only automated a subset of those functions.

 What method of recording do you all use for QSOs?
I'm setting up my fixed base station and know from my handheld/Arrow days
that I cannot operate, talk, and write all at the same time with any
accuracy.
