Links to Audio Files
Click on the Audio link to listen to individual 60-minute segments. Click on the Log link to view the corresponding section of the log. View rate sheet to find the best hours.
Note: When you click on Listen, your browser will download the entire audio file before it begins to play. This could take some time depending on your Internet connection speed. (Typical 60 minute mpeg file is 7.1Mb.)
I recommend that you listen to the audio clips using headphones. Listening from a speaker makes it difficult to hear the calls through the QRM and to hear the SO2R headphone switching.
