[cma-l] Chronicle ROT Logger Beta

[Geoff Rogers]

While on the topic of logging, as well as a standard off air logger
(Surelog, very affordable and works well), I log our station off the mp3
stream at an offsite location on a Raspberry pi and some very simple unix
scripting.  I store it on a 1TB external 2.5" drive and my plan is to keep
this as an archive for ever.  You can get around 2 years of data on a 1TB
drive and at just under £50 seems a very good deal with no ongoing costs.
