Re: [IRCA] transferring recordings from cassettes to digital media

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

Good to hear one club now has a site for clips. That will help people with
unids, as well as just being interesting. Is the clips part of the NRC site
for members only like most of the site? I'd hope not, as that will restrict
it to maybe 200 people.

You're right - it's not worthwhile for most people to have their own site to
host clips. Other problems are that it scatters things around, and people
come and go.

*** I think part of that is due to the lack of a suitable venue until
recently. The WTFDA site ( www.wtfda.info ) has an AM DX section, and
Marc DeLorenzo and I and some others have posted to clips of some
"Classic DX" from the old days there over the past 18 months that's
been available. If anyone is interested, they might want to check
there. I have a few more I'd wanted to get up there - just somehow
didn't get to it, like so many other hobby-related projects.

But realistically, that's not suitable for posting large numbers of
clips. Neither is the recently-announced NRC website section for
posting clips. I know some individual DX'ers have many of their clips
posted on their own websites but I haven't felt that alone was worth
setting up and maintaining a website.
