XLR8, S9+5 with music and ID's at 0219.  Fell off a cliff, dipping under the static now at 0247.

47
"let it snow" followed-up with "stormy weather" with sigs right at the static level at 0034.  sigs still in the static but picking up now to S7 to S9.  Off after the whispery ID at 0042.  Wolverine Radio, I believe.  ID soundclip attached.

SDR - Software Defined Radio / cheapest usb hf sdr stick?
« on: January 19, 2015, 1719 UTC »
allright.  i guess i'm ready to experiment with another sdr dealybop.  i already have a "funcube dongle pro" usb stick and have sparingly used it along with the HDSDR program to listen to freqs in the 400 mhz range.  i'd like to now purchase an el cheapo usb stick which will allow me to listen to and record, hf communications of at least 1-30 mhz using my HDSDR program.  which would be the cheapest usb stick to get which i could use with my HDSDR program which would allow me to record at least 500 kc's of bandswath to my hard drive?  what limits the amount of bandswath i'm able to record to my hardrive, the particular usb stick i'd be using or the HDSDR program?  confused about that.  and of course, the more it's "plug & play," the better.

any and all help appreciated.  regards, scott.

station came of with attached sstv pic at S6 signal strength, then went into music and then wrapped-up transmission with another sstv pic which i was unable to copy as the signal had deteriorated by then.  Please qsl. thanks.
