Re: (meteorobs) One-minute beeps
Malcolm,
You gave me a good opening to make the reminder, if it needs to
be made, about having a backup recorder for the voice data. My trusted Sony
TCM-453V survived three years of cold, heat and dew before succumbing *at
mid-peak* of the storm last year! I recommend the unit, the button layout
is efficient and it has a light letting you know it's on. It gave much
better performance than the other recorders I've used.
Shortwave worked exceptionally well for me last year for the one
minute-intervals -- the time signal is almost tailor-made for meteor
observing -- with the volume up a bit the signal goes right onto the tape.
Good luck,
Kim Youmans
