I am planning to record the WW SSB contest using Writelog and I have been
searching the archives for tips.

Some people (W2UP, K3WW) have mentioned using MPEG level 3 which could
record the entire contest in under 400MB.  This has the added benefit of
fitting on a CD for more permanent archive.  However, I do not have an MPEG
choice under Writelog for compression options.  Is this a function of
Writelog or the sound card I am using?

Assuming that I cannot use MPEG, what other settings have other people used
successfully that could fit in 800MB.  This is about 4KB/sec

I have tried a few and one of the Microsoft ADPCM options sounded best for
4KB/Sec.  I suppose another option is to record it with high quality and try
to compress it afterwards with software but I suspect that will be a long
job.

Thanks for your help,

Tom W2SC (8P5A or 8P1A next weekend)
