It's called Olympus WS 210S. It ran me about $75 from Radio Shack. The sound quality blows, i'm sure there are better solutions out there (if so someone let me know) but it's good enough for me to hear what's going on. A lot of it depends on how you place the microphone - you want it to be about chest level I've found and not rubbing against any clothing. Daytime pickups record better, but you can actually use it in the bars too. The cool thing is that it records in mp3 format so it could really be uploaded to say the field reports area or something.
I think I'd like to start posting some of these. Would be a good way to motivate myself to keep getting better so I don't start to plateau.
I think it would be cool if some other guys did it too. It would really be making the most out of this forum.
