Look for Mestor, a good program for timed recordings. I use it without
fail in newfoundland in November. If you have any trouble setting it up,
let me know. If I can't help, Chuck Hutton is a master at Mestor.
Nineteen channels seems a lot more manageable than 540-1700 recordings
which seem to take me forever to get through.

I'm returning to medium wave, broadcast band DXing after being out of the
game for an extended time. Though I've owned the SDR-IQ for many years,
I've never seriously used it for DXing the AM band.
I'd like to record Top of the Hour (TOH) periods when stations are
required to identify for each hour of the day, starting at just before
local sunset, and continuing all night. Then review these recordings the
next day. I'd like to limit the amount of time recorded to approximately 3
minutes per hour, using the full bandwidth of the receiver. That would give
me 19 "channels" of information to review each hour. That's still a lot of
audio to wade through, but I think it's manageable.
I can't be the only guy doing this, so I wonder if someone could recommend
the best software for this application? I'd love to do everything in one
piece of software, but can run multiple pieces of software if needed.
I hope other DX'ers will take the time to share their recommendations.
Also interested in hearing how other SDR users handle the logistics of
managing the data, and making time to review it.
Thanks in advance!
