Around sunset and then again around 11 p.m. local, I look at some key channels with my two different antennas for any better-than-usual or (at least) unusual / anomalous propagation. If things aren't that interesting, I won't fire off a capture unless it has been several weeks since the last one.
Typically I'll only have 3 or 4 top-of-hour runs saved over the course of the week.
On the other hand, if DXpeditioning, I'll do runs every half hour for maybe 4 or 5 grabs during a usual in-car session at the seashore starting just before sunset. At home, if I'm working a stupendous auroral opening (as we did in late March) or therre's serious audio from second and third tier Transatlantic stations (beyond routine blasters), I will run many captures in a single night.
I have seldom explored recording after midnight local. The few times I've listened later, the productivity has not been worth it.

Subject: [NRC-AM] SDR Recordings
Hello,
I am just curious how other SDR users approach their overnight
recordings from a home location.
My present approach is I record the AM band
2 minutes before the hour and 2 minutes past the hour from 10pm to 5am. 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
Your thoughts please are
welcomed.
Thanks
