one too - Station ID and details nice and clear. Oh, well - maybe
I'll just have to try again.

Bruce,

For the recording, what media do you send them?

I sent a cassette tape in a standard plastic case in an envelope with
a report and a couple other things, which I had OKed ahead of time.
She can also accept MP3s, as per the website. Had the PO weigh and
apply the postage, so I know that's not the trouble. I am sure I had
the address right - it's pretty simple to begin with, and I always
double check.

It's a roundabout thing for me to convert a radio signal to an MP3,
but for ease of mailing or e-mailing, I might just do it from now on.

Bruce

Bruce, why couldn't you just send a "wave file"?

Thanks, Burr, I would not rule that out - but I am not sure my
existing software can make or convert to a wavefile (.wav). All I
have is MS and Windows sound recording software (creates a .wma file)
and some software Brenda found for me that can convert to an MP3.

If you or anyone has some ideas about this, I (not being a PC-savvy
person at all) would be most appreciative.

Burn a Live CD of Puppy Linux. Then cold boot your computer with the
Live CD. A fully-functional version of Puppy Linux will set itself up in
a few minutes. It is preloaded with all kinds of hacker goodness. After
a while, you may decide you prefer it. It'll run completely in RAM; it
only makes a save file with your permission. You shouldn't need to ever
install it on your hard drive, unless you really want to.

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.

In case I did not make it clear, I am in fact using that R75 rec
output to the aux input on the tape recorder :-).

Like dave said, concerning the Live Puppy Linux. You can access all your
windows files and do your mp3 changes. There should be full 'net access.

When you're done, removed the cd and reboot the machine. Nothing will
have changed in your existing Windoze setup. that's like taking the
*blue* pill.

All the Live Linux distributions on cd run pretty slow. You can't
compare that speed to a real hard drive installation. There is a 'dual
boot' option in most Linuxes, so you can keep windows where it is and
choose between the systems at startup time.

An extra hard drive is a good option. As you wean yourself off the
inferior, you spend more and more time away from the Gate's nightmare.

Installing it on an older (cheap or free) computer may be also quite
rewarding. There is usually a noticeable speed improvement and a good
feeling about having brought something back from the dead.

This is in every version of windows I ever used. An small mono .wav file
can play on any Windows machine and most Macs.
