Good to hear one club now has a site for clips. That will help people with unids, as well as just being interesting. Is the clips part of the NRC site for members only like most of the site? I'd hope not, as that will restrict it to maybe 200 people.
You're right - it's not worthwhile for most people to have their own site to host clips. Other problems are that it scatters things around, and people come and go.

The WTFDA site ( www.wtfda.info ) has an AM DX section, and Marc DeLorenzo and I and some others have posted to clips of some "Classic DX" from the old days there over the past 18 months that's been available. If anyone is interested, they might want to check there. I have a few more I'd wanted to get up there - just somehow didn't get to it, like so many other hobby-related projects. But realistically, that's not suitable for posting large numbers of clips. Neither is the recently-announced NRC website section for posting clips. I know some individual DX'ers have many of their clips posted on their own websites but I haven't felt that alone was worth setting up and maintaining a website.
