Thanks for this - A great idea, but expenses being what they are, I am
trying to live with what I have.

I do have a small Olympus vox recorder lying around somewhere - I may
see if I can get it working - but for now, I am using an excellent
quality old-fashioned cassette recorder. *Just last week, I figured
out how to pump the output of this into my PC to make digitized
recordings; just last night, I managed to burn a couple of CDs for
Voice of Russia and Radio Bulgaria (that don't sound half-bad) which I
assume any self-respecting radio station should be able to play back.

- This is what I use - but so far I have not seen the
- extension ".wav", only ".wma." *
- Maybe the same thing? *
- Either way, it burns a decent CD,
- and I have sent them by e-mail before.

What is the most universal Audio Format ".wav"
-or- MP3 ? -or- other ?
For International Distribution : Sending Audio QSL Reports ?
.

From Wikipedia:
* The ABC "D-Cart" system, which was developed by the Australian
broadcaster, uses 48 kHz 16 bit two channel .wav files, which is
identical to that of Digital Audio Tape.
* The Digital Radio Mondiale consortium uses WAV files as an
informal standard for transmitter simulation and receiver testing.
