Recordings made possible by using shortwave receivers made by

and

Since it seems I ran out of space on the other pages for my audio files I found this spot to park them all in .Here you will find a large assortment of audio files of everything from the BBC to an Indonesian regional..

If you are interested in learning how to do this there are a few tools out there to use.

One is RealAudio another is the old but still somewhat used wav file format. For the .wav format running the Soundrecorder program inWindows3.x or 9.x using a patch cord from the radio 's headphones jack or line out to the sound card's line in jack will work just nicely . For RealAudio using the same line in technique but with the RealProducer or RealEncoder programs will enable you to have a very small file as opposed to the .wav file.If you use the wav file format a 30 second audio recording can be up to 3 to 5 megabytes so not very download friendly and may take a lot of space on those not fortunate to be supplied with a large hard drive..The RealAudio file on the other hand for that same time may be only 80 to 90 kb in size.

The radios I have used for this site are as follows.

1. Sangean ATS803A

2.Realistic DX380

3.Drake R-4A

4. Motorola built R-390( Collins )

Links for the radio manufacturers are as follows:

Links for the RealAudio recording software :

Download RealEncoder 5.1

This one is a smaller yet effective program that works in a wav. format:

Hopefully this will get you started on making your own recordings, or at least give you an idea of how to do it .

Now for the goodies :) These were made using the now up and running Motorola -manufactured R-390:
