Audio has arrived here at the ionosphere blog

Author: WPaudio WordPress Player has been put to use here — hear?
In my article “About “ionosphere” and Bill Beauchamp” I gave my background and explained why the name ionosphere is being used for my website and now my blog. I’d recorded some HF Radio stuff while living in my apartment prior to getting married and moving here to Pennsylvania. I’d saved digital .wav files and just converted them so that they could be used on my site. With the exception of a missing on-screen volume control, I’m very happy with the addition. You’ll find the audio files at the bottom of the page linked above.
If you have a WordPress blog I think that you’d also find Todd Iceton’s program very useful. The current WPaudio WordPress MP3 Player version is 2.2.0 and can be downloaded by following the link provided or found at WordPress.org’s website.
I put a couple players on the other page and I’ll drop another one here. This was recorded (captured) using the Japan Radio NRD-545 DSP Shortwave Receiver and saving directly to the hard drive.

The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
