From a standard cassette player, I recorded the audio on to a PC using Musicmatch Jukebox 7.2 Plus. 64 Kbps was selected as a good compromise for audio quality verses bandwidth.

My default mp3 player is Winamp. Windows Media player also supports mp3 audio files.

93.1 MHz Yumi FM, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, received in Sydney via 2Es. 1,700 miles is relatively rare for sporadic E at 88-108 MHz FM. This is because the max distance for single-hop sporadic E is usually around 1,400 miles. 2Es usually starts around 1,900-2,000 miles, thus 1,700 miles is in the 'hole' region of a doughnut.
