Thanks! I knew they sponsored recordings but I
haven't checked out this site in a long time. If
I'm reading your page correctly, you uploaded
some very large.wav files, E.G Sequoia_NP.wav at
524mb? If so, that is astonishing. The links to
the compressed formats (,zip. .flac,) result in a
direct download, the .wav loaded into a browser
window.

which to download.
I got a "library card" and uploaded 43mb in about
20 minutes, total. Folks without prior FTP
experience would have be a tough go though.
Trying to import it though I ran into issues.
Looks like my directory got in the Live Music
category so I'll see what i can do about this
later.
This upload site would work very well for people
who want to invest some time learning how to ftp,
zip files and use the import interface. I bet
there are good "how to" directions somewhere for
a site this large and well-used.
Can't beat no space limitations for the free!

Those I tried streamed very well! Kewaskum, WI! Surround too!
I'll spend some time listening to recordings

mk-41. Seems like you favor your wide cardiods in
ortf. Comments about mk-21/CK-8 MS? Rob D.
