Reduced the SpecLab capture to 40% quality but the= y still look quite good. In fact the clip I sent via your last mail re: yo= ur QSO was cut from one of those captures.

The ge= neral size range is from 100 to 125kb which is about half the previous cap= ture size so could be OK at that. I have also found that using the multi-c= olour palettes (I was using Sunrise) increases the file size. I am now usi= ng my own palette edit again (black to yellow), it seems to give a good co= ntrast.

Gary,

indeed the process should be automated.
But as you mention SpecLab has a selectable compression rate for the jpeg= screen captures.
The upload steam could be further reduced by uploading only the "rece= nt part" of the screen grab and composing the picture on the web site= from a number of grabs. Should be possible with JavaScript.

Rik,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am not familiar with Corel Photo paint =A0&a= mp; it does need to be automatic as I can't spend time editing each = =A0upload ie. two at 10 minutes & 1 at 1 hr. I am trying reducing the= =A0JPG at capture time by lowering the JPEG quality percentage on =A0Spec= Lab. I have taken care of the G4JNT beacon upload by using *.png =A0&= the file is only a few kb's rather than 10's of kb's using *.= bmp & =A0uploading at 1 hr intervals instead of 15 minutes.

Gary,

maybe more compression in the jpeg.
Using Corel Photo Paint I could reduce the file size to 50% with =A0little= visual impact.

Hi All,

Sorry to have to announce that my grabber is inoperative at the moment.
It seems that I have regularly exceeded the daily quota set by the =A0 ISP= /web site provider. I have been transparently placed in =A0 "restrict= ed service" which is only allowing about 5 =A0 uploads/downloads each= day. I expect that it will take some time for =A0my average to come down= sufficient to allow my regular uploads again.

Also I will have to make the upload file sizes smaller & less =A0 regu= lar so as to keep within this upload limit.

I will post a notice here when all is running normally again.
