Speaking of recordings,
I'm working on giving a contesting presentation at several of the local
clubs in my area.
I would love to be able to play for them what a pile up at the
receiving end sounds like.
and or how about the competitions held at Dayton also, are there any
sound files out there of past years.
I'd think it would be cool for these people to hear what it sounds like
from the other end. especially with a top notch operator working the pile.
anyone know where I could get such a file?
