How do you compile the videos, @217? I'd like to put a few up.

I add the raw audio into movie maker. I then can see the wave forms for quick editing. Everything has a distinct wave form.

40 Years ago I would DX many remote broadcast pick ups on 25 MHz. I'm glad to see a station is still using it. Most of the radio stations now use the Internet to link to a transmitter.

How do you compile the videos, @217? I'd like to put a few up.

Videos are OK, but please also share logs. Some of us don't care to watch videos just to see who came in.

Where are you located? Knowing your location (doesn't have to be specific. Can be just general such as county or region) will help others who may not be far from you have their ears "turned up".
