I have been using CD's for some time myself, usually burned as Audio CD, that way the CD can be read on any CD player. I suppose cassette decks are becoming increasingly rare among station personell while a CD player or a PC with CD-ROM is practically everywhere.
Have also experienced with sending 1.4MB diskettes with mp3 or wav files copied to it. Found that the CD solution was better.

It works in the same way of the audio tapes but the advantage is that the CD is flat and lighter than an audio tape. You always should send a reception report with details (if possible) and those typical items like frequency, date, SINPO, antenna, receiver, etc....You should also send a sort of personal letter like "Hi, I am John, from USA, etc...please find enclosed a CD with the recording of your transmission along a reception report"... I got some QSL cards using CD's including Holy Tibet, Burkina Faso, Full Gospel Church (Canaries), Radio Tanzania (Zanzibar), etc... Just a last comment. Don't waste your CD's with big stations, I mean, don't send a CD to Radio Nederland or Radio Japan for example, even though you can't understand the language. You can easily get a QSL from these station. CD's (or tapes) should be used in special situations when you really can't understand the language and the station doesn't have many resources like someone who can spend some time reading your report and trying to understand what you mean.

With the letter, do you still write out full program details or simply refer to the CD? I am thinking of giving it a try and hoping to find out what others are doing first.
