I get good results with Camstudio and the Camstudio lossless codec under Win7.  I then upload the AVIs to Youtube using Windows Live Moviemaker at an HD resolution.  All free.  Unfortunately I haven't figured a way around the 2gb file size limit imposed on the AVI file.  2gb doesn't go far when capturing the SDR's live waterfall.

I've never been able to get Shazam to work with BlueStacks on my PC, but I've been using Sound Hound with BlueStacks for ages now to ID songs right off the SDR running on the same PC.

Ugh, I wish I had a better off-air recording for you Steve.  That one's a bit rough on the ears but at least it's something.  I thought I logged RCCI more than once but I only found one entry in my logbook (which I updated religiously back on those days).  Hopefully someone will come forward with a better recording.

MW Loggings / 1548.01 4QD Australia into Michigan this morning

« on: March 21, 2015, 1358 UTC »

I've been chasing this one for a while now as a carrier-only during morning DXing sessions.  Finally nailed some audio and an ID from 4QD Emerald, QLD. this morning a few minutes prior to my local sunrise.  Like the 120 meter domestic Aussie broadcasters, this too had the better signal using the North D-KAZ antenna.  When switching to my South-west phased BOGs which have done well before in picking out TP MW DX, it was only "barely there" as a weak het.  The D-KAZ wins again!  9,081 miles from Emerald to my receiver!  Here's a bit of the reception:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00ea9cVsboo

I just tuned in at 2000 UTC, signal up and down S3-S4.  Not the best copy here but good enough to easily ID songs and some announcements.
