Continuously recording a contest is lots of fun.

Fixed audio from the xcvr is fine. When you do the recording find as loud
a signal as you can and adjust the PC's audio mixer so that the level is
close to the maximum. Then ignore it for the rest of the contest.

The answer is left or right or both. WriteLog can handle any of them.
Your existing connection should be fine.

No. WriteLog can handle it all from one channel.

If you have one radio you can save a bunch of disk space with no loss
in quality by selecting compression, and picking 16 bit 11 KHz Mono.
This will mix the left and right tracks into one signal instead of
storing them separately. I don't have my WriteLog computer in front
of me so I can't tell you the exact command.
