Solar Eclipse Data Collection Project<\/h2>\n

Between 1600 \u2013 2015 UTC on August 21, 2017, as the solar eclipse swept across the nation, I captured much of the lower 2 MHz of the radio frequency spectrum.\u00a0 I used a\u00a0Microtelecom Perseus SDR<\/a>, a 130? inverted L with four radials, and lots of disk space.\u00a0 In doing so, I have created a permanent record of this portion of the RF spectrum during the solar eclipse.<\/p>\n

I am making the\u00a0spectrum capture files<\/a>\u00a0available for your analysis and research.\u00a0 Each file contains a 5 minute segment.\u00a0 If you download a group of files, they will play in succession.<\/p>\n

You can use the\u00a0demo version of the Perseus software<\/a>\u00a0or any other software that can read the Perseus data, such as\u00a0Linrad<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0HDSDR<\/a>.\u00a0 You cannot use just an audio player to play the files, even though they have .wav extentions.<\/p>\n

Should you perform any analysis or otherwise make use of the files, I\u2019d like to hear from you in the comments below.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to Jav, K4JH, for donating the bandwidth for this effort.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks, Dan and Jav for making these files available for download! Someday, if I can find the bandwidth and space to upload them, I’ll also share the spectrum recordings I made.<\/p>\n
