Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] SDR Recordings

[<jniven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank Chris,

Thanks for the reply, this is what I am looking for. I don't know if I am making work for myself, but wanted feedback.
one reason I selected 00:58 to 00:02, some of the Mexican stations ID sometime in the 00:58 range and they have being heard iding in the 00:01 to 00:02 range as well. I generally listen to the whole 4 minutes of each channel just incase something does pop up.

Thanks

James

But generally on those frequencies you can determine in just a few seconds whether or not you stand a chance of hearing anything. The "wide open" channels generally warrant closer inspection, and I usually listen to the entire two minutes at least twice.

I am finding its a long process to get through the recordings, I am already 4 months behind in my recordings but I am not complaining. My question is, "What approach are others following that allows them to get through their recordings in a timely manner if there is such a thing". I know everyone will approach this differently as to their own preferences, just looking for options that I can adopt myself. I know on DX trips, you try to record as much as possible as to not miss that gem of a catch. Do you have target frequencies you look at...etc
