[CQ-Contest] SSB Monitoring

[Tom Osborne]

Hi All


While getting set  up for the NAQP SSB sprint this weekend, I was wishing I 
had a way to monitor my transmit audio so I know the logger is sending what 
it is supposed to be saying.

While watching the XYL listen to her Ipod, I saw something that had promise.

I borrowed her ear buds from the Ipod and slipped them inside my headphones. 
I use cordless headphones, so they have a rather large opening to go over 
the ear.

I then plugged the Ipod earbuds into my computer speaker and voila, I can 
now hear what  my computer is saying.

I know there are a lot of rigs out there that don't have SSB monitoring (my 
TS-450SAT's don't have that feature) and this may be a way to make you feel 
more confident that the logger is sending what it is supposed to be sending.
