>From 2007 to 2010 I operated the *Five Below* blog for Perseus SDR enthusiasts, I also hosted Perseus WAV recordings sent in by DXers around the world.
Although the blog is history (but available in a 36mb archived ZIP form<http://realmonitor.com/Five_Below.zip>) the Perseus WAV files live on. There are currently 91 files freely available for download at: *http://www.mediafire.com/?1shbad73mby1c *This folder includes the recently uploaded Hawaii recordings made by Dave Aichelman. If you do not own a Perseus SDR, you can still explore the MW band (and often LW too, depending on the file) by downloading and installing the demo Perseus software <http://microtelecom.it/perseus/Perseusv21hDemo.zip> or using the free HDSDR software <http://www.hdsdr.de/>. Because these WAV files contain "IQ" data representing a swath of RF spectrum that Perseus can play back, the files can be very large. The reward for your downloading patience, however, is gaining access to the MW band as heard in other parts of the world than your own. This can be a great way to access local programming, check IDs, or simply vicariously DX from another location. In most cases there are comments on the WAV files, notes on antennas used, etc. found in my archived Perseus blog<http://realmonitor.com/Five_Below.zip>. You'll just need to cross-reference the dates of the WAV file uploading to the articles/entry date in the blog. Thanks to all the Perseus owners who shared their Perseus WAV files with other DXers via *Five Below*. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA USA _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
