I know quite a few of us record our DX, but alot of people still don't. I've run into some old timers who flat out refuse to record, with one telling me "My written log and my word should stand for itself and be enough".
Quite a few people record on computer but I dont for multiple reasons A.) Potential interference introduced into your DXing system (not very likely but Im taking every advantage I can to reduce interference) B.) you're Mobile. I try to come up with ways to do things that anyone, even if they arent too handy can do, with parts/equipment they can get easily no matter where they are. I use a Zoom H1 digital handheld recorder fed by it's line in port from the rca outputs of my radio and I listen using the headphones in the audio out jack. I shot a short video a year or two ago after I had a few questions on how to set this up, and its easier to show then try and explain. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxA3DkITExU I know there's one or two DX'ers on this list I've specifically encouraged and been able to help set up with more or less this same system. I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong but if you dont record, you should.. it makes it much easier for stations and in some cases, believeable when they hear it rather then just read a report. I love DXing and I just want peopel to get the most out of it like I know is possible, like I do.
