            <title>Re: 35000 Watts, Podcasts Downloads Available again?  COOL!!!! .M4A explained.</title>
            <link>http://www.frn.net/vines/read.php?1,10957,11351#msg-11351</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ [<a href="https://www.35000watts.com/"  rel="nofollow">www.35000watts.com</a>]      Doing their series, called 120 Months, College Radio Tracks by the year &amp; month, are again downloadable in .M4A format. I don't know what that is, but I hope that Audacity con convert that to .MP3.   UPDATE:  Audacity does, so it works. And, Michael Millard gave me this answer on .M4A format. &quot;So m4a is an mpeg container for audio, the file is actually compressed using AAC. Ends up being a little more efficient than mp3 so you get better quality at the same file size (or the same quality at a lower file size, depending on your priorities). It seems to be supported pretty much universally now.&quot; So, good to know.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ You've asked for it, and now we have it. Thus far, all 5 HBR podcasts uploaded to my Archive page.    [<a href="https://archive.org/details/hobby-broadcasting-radio-qsl-pic"  rel="nofollow">archive.org</a>]    To download, scroll down to Download Options, and go to VBR MP3. Just uploaded these on New Year's Day. So, listen, enjoy, download, and even broadcast, if you are so inclined to do so. So, will more shows be uploaded as they are produced and released? I hope so... (Thank you Andrew, for the podcasts &amp; permission. And, thank you Boomer, for being my guinea pig!!!!)<br />
BTW, check out the rest of the page for anything else you want to download and use.  [<a href="https://archive.org/details/@thadood"  rel="nofollow">archive.org</a>]]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ [<a href="https://frsholland.nl/new-website-online/"  rel="nofollow">frsholland.nl</a>]   Got word that FRS Holland maybe on-air for Halloween Weekend, but no real specifics. Well, other than the newer website. I wrote to them asking if they'd be willing to try and use the 11M International Broadcast Band, with F2 PROP hot now, but they might try 13MHz. Again, no specifics... So, Happy DX'ing!!!!!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ From Michael Millard:    &quot;We know a lot of you have been waiting for 35000 Watts to be available on the major online platforms, and we’re happy to say that the film is now available on Amazon Prime Video!. You can rent or buy 35000 Watts right here: [<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DZ5978G2/"  rel="nofollow">www.amazon.com</a>].<br />
<br />
After you watch the film, please rate and review it. This will help more people find it on Amazon, which means more people will hopefully discover the magic of college radio!<br />
<br />
Thanks for all your support!!&quot;<br />
<br />
And now, 5/2026, you can see this on TUBI.   [<a href="https://tubitv.com/movies/100039627/35000-watts-the-story-of-college-radio"  rel="nofollow">tubitv.com</a>]<br />
Yeah... You will have to sit through ads, but the price is right. That, and you can dumb-down the VID resolution on slower bandwidths, like DSL.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Boomer, of WAG AM690, told me how I could format an 8GB USB thumb drive, in UDF, and it worked quite well. I was able to get the whole 7GB flick on an 8GB USB thumbdrive, as well as the ripped audio for Part 15 radio airing. I did it the way described here,  [<a href="https://www.getusb.info/how-to-format-a-flash-drive-as-udf-windows-7-10-solution/"  rel="nofollow">www.getusb.info</a>]    , which works for me, since I make a short-cut for DOS for stuff like this, or to PING a network. I haven't tried this in Terminal Mode on Linux, yet. Anyway, it's worked for me, but might be good to heed the possible problems with going UDF format. Getting back to the DOC 35,000 Watts? Worth the $6.00 WE TRANSFER download! Jennifer Waits, of Radio Survivor podcasts, makes a guest appearance in this, as well as many band(s) members. If, you've ever grown-up listening to, or even was an air personnel, to college radio, you will relate to this!  Make it a a perfect 'movie-night' for your radio enthusiasts friends! If, you download this movie to a USB thumb drive, in UDF format, and have a smart TV to directly play thumb drives, you are all set to watch. ENJOY!!!!!!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Did it!!!! Ordered the $6.00, 1080p, version of this movie. The other is a 4K, $7.00 version. In my mind, these are overkill, where 480p, would have been just fine. The 1080p version is a 7GB download, and took me about 30min with Starlink to do so. BTW, format is .MOV file, and you purchase that from We Transfer. If, you do buy and download, just be sure that you have the hard drive space and even the processor speeds to view this flick. This little netbook Lenovo that I'm typing on can just barely do that. Oh... I've tried to dump it to a 16GB USB 2.0 thumbdrive, but got a 'File To Large' error. (Really???) Even did a re-format of that drive, to dump anything in it. I had to use a 64GB USB thumbdrive to do a transfer. (So, what's up there?) Have not had time to watch this, yet, but from the 1min opener, it looks good. I, even want to rip the audio. So, some heads-up here. Enjoy...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks! I'd downloaded about half of those years ago, maybe off of the FRN itself, after someone did a massive scanning project, but then lost track of the archive.<br />
<br />
I have many in hard copy too, orange covers, and many of the blue ones, but not the earliest ones, I thought it went back before 1989? I'm sure I have earlier ones that I got from an SWL at one time.<br />
