[TenTec] omni 6 and monitor circuit

[Barry N1EU]

Hi Ken,

I fiddled a little with the circuit without much success getting a really 
decent sounding monitor signal.  I think you'd be better off pulling the 
audio right off your microphone and recording that for your purposes.

Another possible option might be to use WriteLog contesting software and a 
pc soundcard.  Your microphone goes through the pc soundcard and the 
software automatically selects either your microphone or a recorded message 
file (.wav) for xmsn.  In other words it can turn your pc into a digital 
voice keyer as well.  Writelog has a feature that allows you to record an 
entire contest (or selected time period) audio to disk, depending on how 
much free disk space you have.  Perhaps this option would serve you well in 
wanting to record both sides of the pileup.

Best of luck in the contest, and please keep an ear out for ole N1EU   ;-)

GL/73,
Barry  N1EU
