This was really holding me back from satellite operating until I\n> made an effort to free up my hand to log during the pass.

My aural recall is very poor compared to my visual recall, which is\n> why this visual memory jog is extremely helpful for me. It won't be as\n> helpful for someone with good aural recall.\n>\n> I also hear on Twitter about once a week about someone needing help\n> reconstructing QSOs on a pass because their recorder failed. I had that\n> happen to me once too, when I was not hand-logging because I was in the\n> dark. Now I use a headlamp when operating at night so I can read and write\n> even in the dark.\n>\n> This was a technique that required very little time and money to implement\n> and had huge, immediate results for me, so I try to share this advice with\n> newer ops as a potential technique for them to consider if they're\n> struggling. I occasionally hear online from some newer ops that have\n> trouble remembering the callsign of a station that called them or that they\n> want to call, and occasionally on the birds hear some folks struggle\n> repeatedly to repeat a full call sign. This is a technique that could help\n> some of these folks to operate more effectively and confidently, and better\n> utilize the limited resource of pass time, which benefits all users.
