Did you hear the BBC with any games? I tuned around on the U of Twente's receiver a bit while at work, but didn't find anything. Came across REE on 15500 with a game in Spanish (which does me no good, except for GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!)

Went down to MW and listened to the games. More fun on SW, but MW is better than nothing.

Very cool Token, thanks . That gives me some ideas. And you're doing pretty much what I want to do.

I haven't seen SDR-Console, but I'll check it out.

Daytime power is now 850W and nighttime is still 250W (or as they say, "Two hundred and fifty thousand milliWatts of power. To the people.")

They've also been having problems recently. For the past couple of weeks(?) their audio source has been breaking up/skipping. That seems to have been straightened out, but now their xmtr seems to go off the air. They're off now (June 12, 2016 2330 UTC) and have been off for an hour or so. Was listening to them earlier without any problems, then they went off.

Good luck in catching them, they're a tough one for you. But keep trying, perhaps greyline might be the best. Their daytime pattern sprays a bunch towards the E & SE. Nighttime sends it to the SW with very little to the E or SE.

In the TV series "Defiance", the aliens referred to humans like that.

Sounds like your GF is an alien and slipped up referring to you.

Finally got the radio hooked up with a good antenna to listen w/o overloading it. AM stereo sounds so very, very nice. The wideband audio + the stereo separation.

Have tried SoDiRa with the Perseus, but can't make out the separation.

Cool, thanks. I think I tried that way back then, but don't remember where I put the app (I tend to put things "for safe keeping" after a while, which means they get lost. For the longest time, I kept doing that with one of my books. I've finally found it again and not going to let it out of my sight. Ever).

And if I can peek at the source, I am definitely interested.

Hopefully I don't have to wait until after:

I took a quick look at RFSpace for their models, but WAY above my budget (although, specs are perfect, esp that NetSDR+ with a couple of the options).

CloudIQ may be in the realm of possibility at some point this year. Are you familiar with that one?

Didn't know they released CuteSDR as open source and there is also GNU Radio. Those should be a great start.

The Perseus software does save files and I have TB of them (as well as from Studio1). And, that's another thing I'd want to do is to be able to read in recordings and do analysis on them, as if it was live. I know third party can do something with Perseus as Studio1 does. They interface to it via the a DLL, but that does me no good whatsoever on Mac, FreeBSD or Linux.

I do remember seeing the carrier drift articles, nothing short of fascinating and have read them several times. Do more!
