Would love to listen. The one thing if I could offer as a suggestion to you, and people who make sites such as yours, is to consider using a format for the audio that is not proprietary. It may sound silly to some, but chosing a proprietary audio format, you are segmenting your listeners to people who run Windows or in this case, the Windows Media Player. I should have prefaced this request by saying I don't know anything about running a site like yours, and perhaps you have little choice. But if you did, people like myself would be able to enjoy what you have posted for the world to sample. I myself run UNIX based systems such as Linux or FreeBSD, which does not support the Windows Media player. There are more and more people migrating to something other than windows and in the Hams world, I understand it is not rare to find people using Linux at all due to some of the applications that work well for Hams. Just a thought. :p

Yes I wish I could offer it in more formats. So far the only free encoder I have found is for Media player. I'm not ready to invest money in this thing.. :( When I do HTML I try to make is usuable for all systems.. it's not as difficult as it used to be though.

What does linux support? I don't know much about linux.. of course I'd like to run something that Mac's support too, I guess that would be quicktime.
