[amsat-bb] Audio of AO-92, today

[Loren M. Lang]

I've been doing this for a few years myself and I am still working on being
able to remember callsigns and grid squares. What I generally focus on is
making sure I've heard all the details and having a good audio recording.
As long as I think I've heard the full call and grid at least once for a
station as well as them coming back to me clearly, I'll call it good and
play the recording back later to get the details down for the log. The key
is just making sure you heard it once. I have mostly just relied on using
my phone to record the audio, but since I've uploaded to an HT with built
in audio record to an SD card, I've found that can do a better job with
open squelch as it doesn't record all the background noise when I'm
listening to the signal.
