Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Gnuradio and Solar Eclipse

[Daniel Estévez]

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing.

I've also done wideband recordings of the eclipse using a similar setup:
a Hermes-Lite 2.0beta2, gr-hermeslite2 and digital_rf. I did 8 hour
recordings of the 40, 30 and 20m bands at 384ksps.

Rather than making timelapses of the spectrum, I have done high
resolution waterfalls of the recordings using Python. See

Dani EA4GPZ.
