Title: A few beacons, on youtube, September 5 and September 10, 2010
Post by: Token on September 11, 2010, 1451 UTC

Howdy all,

I did a few vid captures of some of the beacons that can easily be heard from my location pretty much daily and or 24/7.  Later I may add some of the harder to get beacons, but they may be a little noisy, not sure how they are going to turn out.  I chose the SDR-IQ and SDR-14 with SpectraView to record as I think the more simple display shows up better in small video than any of the other SDR GUI's.  Besides that I simply like the waterfall of SV better than the others here, even if the SDR-IQ is not as good a receiver, on paper, as my Excalibur, my Perseus, or my Flex-5000.

Very cool!  Once we have a radio-quiet morning here, I'll have to try for the beacons again with the new big loop antenna. I tried a few mornings ago, but conditions were pretty poor.
