[CW] W1AW MP3 Practice Files in IPOD

[KD5NWA]

Just last night I listened to a audio stream from a web site that 
wanted to charge you for the CD, I went and fired up Audacity, I 
switched the input source and re-played the stream and now I have a 
MP3 file for free.

Great software. Very useful for recording signals over the air.

If you are a ARRL member you can download the code practice MP3's but 
if your not and have a good signal, Audacity will record it for you, 
I use a 1:1 audio isolation transformer to keep hum and ground loops out.
