I used an audio recording of 3,32 minutes made with an Elad FDM-S2 and longwire antenna at 50°-230°.
Recording start was 1632 UTC.

For sure I have to optimize my Elad settings, since the file is way to large and took almost two hours to decode. But it's a start I guess.

How accurate the loggings truly are is another question I will have to find out in the next few weeks.

Great to see your first logs, Oliver.

Since you're in Europe, you may want to make sure the 0.5 khz channel option is ON, since there are lot of such stations over there.

What are your ZCount settings, offset and max error?  Offset should be 24, for the max error 20 or 30 may be a good place to start.

You may be able to directly feed I/Q recordings from your Elad, if you used audio this time. A narrow recording seems to work best, as close to 50 kHz as you can get, centered at 305 kHz.

How long was the recording? Two hours seems too long to take to decode just 3 minutes of audio.  Or was this really an I/Q file?
