Stop and think what you're getting yourself into. 118 frequencies (530, 540, 550... 1700 kHz) * 10 minutes (5 minutes before the hour and 5 minutes after the hour) * 24 = 28,320 minutes. 28320 / 60 (minutes in 1 hour) = 472 hours needed to listen to 1 day of TOH recordings.
How about only 1 TOH recording? 118 frequencies * 10 minutes = 1,180 minutes. 1180 / 60 = 19.67 hours needed to listen. How about only record 2 minutes before the TOH and 2 minutes after. 118 frequencies * 4 minutes * 24 = 11,328 minutes. 11328 / 60 = 188.8 hours How about only 1 TOH 4 minute recording? 118 frequencies * 4 minutes = 472 minutes 472 / 60 = 7.867 hours needed to listen. Hope you have plenty of time available. 73, Kraig, KG4LAC On 9/21/2015 10:23 AM, jni...@austin.rr.com wrote:
Hello, I am just curious how other SDR users approach their overnight recordings from a home location. My present approach is I record the AM band 2 minutes before the hour and 2 minutes past the hour from 10pm to 5am. I am finding its a long process to get through the recordings, I am already 4 months behind in my recordings but I am not complaining. My question is, "What approach are others following that allows them to get through their recordings in a timely manner if there is such a thing". I know everyone will approach this differently as to their own preferences, just looking for options that I can adopt myself. I know on DX trips, you try to record as much as possible as to not miss that gem of a catch. Do you have target frequencies you look at...etc Your thoughts please are welcomed.
