Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] 690 Spanish - second opinion(s) wanted

["Saul DX" <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for listening, Bill. A DXer named Jon did nab an ID for 69 outa one 
of the clips, so this one is resolved as Mexico City. I'm plugging a Sony 
MP3 recorder directrly into my AOR 7030 Plus, and it never occurred to me I 
can control levels. Not sure how but I'll look into it. I find that it's 
about just loud enough for me to hear the content clearly enough. (And I had 
a hearing test this morning - to establish a baseline and also begin to see 
what's up with my mild tinnitus - and I'm told my hearing, itself, is on the 
upper end of normal).
