[Elecraft] Paper Logs (was Audio mixers)

[Walter Underwood]

Paper logging is pretty common for emergency communications. Unlike contests, the messages can be anything. It is common to have a net control and scribe working as a team.

Most of the time, that can be done with a simple headphone distribution amp, but there are fancier setups.
