Hello Daniele, VLF,
Yes, sharing the same usr file could be useful. My grabber is currently
covering about 13 hours in the wideband window but 24 hours makes sense
i think. The sampling rate should be 48 kS/s since most amateurs have
no 'special' and expensive soundcards.
If you want i will arrange a suitable usr file? But the time that is
covered is a function of the size of your monitor so we should define
the capture size in pixels. I am using 980 pixels on my grabber...
The next question is the frequency response of differnet RX antennas
(due to the design). If the lower cut off frequency is above 6 kHz, it
might be difficult t compare. Maybe it is best you and others who want
to take part of this idea, just show a capture from 0...24 kHz and some
hours (> 10) to get a first impression?

Hello Stefan, VLF,
would a wide-band capture over 24 hours from my QTH/receiver be
of some interest for you? If so, I think I could be able to send the
results to you by the end of this week or so (hoping batteries last
enough :-)). Probably it could make sense to share the same .usr file
for SpecLab so that to ensure a bit of consistency when comparing
figures from different locations.
My sound card support 96KHz sampling at 24 bits/sample, but I
found that card's noise looks much better when sampling at 48KHz.
Best regards
Daniele

at different locations and QRN as a function of daytime
Hi Daniele,
No problem about the callsign ;-) On VLF you don't even need one for
transmitting, hi.
Oh, you are in JN53EM, i haven't known that. The distance is 707 km!
This is the 3rd best distance at all! Unbelivable, for a antenna in
that location, very fine!!!
I hope cou can improve your RX situation if this is your goal.
And i hope i can transmit more meaningful messages the next time ;-)

Hello Stefan, VLF,
frankly speaking, it is still unbelievable to me that I was
able to catch a faint trace of your signal and see it appearing on my
PC. This is because of the intense hum at my location and the
unsophisticated reception system that I use. Anyway, I'm glad to read
your opinion that the screenshot I captured was really showing your tx
:-)
I'm also interested in supporting your idea of collecting information
about local QRN at different locations. I'm aways looking for
simple-to-build solutions for improving my setup. May be some helpful
information could emerge from this data analysis you are proposing.
For the time being, these are the information you have
requested: the locator is JN53EM. As for the callsign, I'm sorry, I
haven't one. I'm only "registered" as a SWL and my identifier is
I0169LI ( http://www.qrz.com/db/I0169LI/).
Cheers
Daniele
