Thanks Dave for pointing out the mike/line-in thing. When I read it, I
thought that can't be right as I record many of the contests. Then I
remember they were CW and RTTY Contests. I also recorded SSB contest
but the Station Mike was alway plugged into the rig.
That is, I never used Writelog of a SSB Contest Keyer.
I can copy RTTY on the soundcard and listen to internet radio at the
sametime.
