The excellent ShortwaveArchive.com which archives many shortwave radio broadcasts from recent recordings to recordings over the last 50 years has added an endanged shortwave
station list. This serves as a good guide as to what audio recordings should be submitted to the Shortwave Archive to provide a record of these stations if they do indeed unfortunately
stop shortwave broadcasts. The list has been created by Thomas Witherspoon from ShortwaveArchive and London Shortwave who runs an excellent blog here - http://london-shortwave

Now in MFSK32 mode we have another famous shortwave interval signal. This text is a Base64 encoded ZIP file which can be converted to to MP3 by going to http://midi.digidx.uk (and
select the Submit ZIP option) or go to http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp choosing to decode the data and export to file, the file can then be renamed a .ZIP
file and then the MIDI file can be extracted and opened in Winamp or similar software.
