The Sony PX Series ICDPX370. I have been using it for a year now and it
has worked very well for me.

Dear AMSAT member
To mark the Coronation of King Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (King
Rama X) from May 4 to May 6, 2019 the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand
under the Patronage of His Majesty the King (RAST) will be operating a
special event station from the Royal Thai Navy aircraft carrier, the Chakri
Narubet, in the Gulf of Thailand from May 3 to May 6 using the callsign
HS1?KING/mm.
This station will be making QSOs in the 40, 20, 15 and 10 metre HF bands,
on 2 metres VHF and also using amateur radio satellites, including the
Es'hail 2 / QO-100 satellite.
Consequently, the May meeting of RAST will be postponed to the second
Sunday of the month, and will take place on Sunday May 12 at Sena Place
Hotel when applications to take the upcoming Intermediate Class examination
will be available
As usual all RAST members are welcome to attend this meeting and hopefully
they will be able to have a QSO with HS1?KING/mm.
Sincere 73,
Tony Waltham, HS0ZDX
RAST Vice-President
RAST English-language website: https://www.qsl.net/rast/

I have tried a stand-alone recorder but keep falling back to the one in the
D74A. I'm also happier with 2 radio setup then recorder+D72... I'm
certainly the minority in this.

No, the AMSAT-BB removes file attachments.

I made a simple antenna mount from a broken camera tripod (no platform on
top) and a few pieces of PVC. The plastic just press-fits together and
drops over the tripod shaft, so I have az, el, and polarity rotation at very
little expense. The antenna boom fits through the PVC T-fitting before the
elements are attached, making the antenna balanced as well.
