Re: [IRCA] File size limit

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

I too like the idea of *short* MP3 clips.  For a DX list, that's all that's
needed.  For longer, program files, like Paul likes to post, an alternative
site works better.  My favourite postings are those from a DXpedition
accompanied by short MP3 clips.  73,  Walt
