500kHz antenna connected to the HF-3

The antenna is now connected to the HF-3 and receiving there. DI2AM is visible, if not too strong. Some WSPR signals are easily visible, with the WSPR program they should decode nicely.

For now I will leave it running, and in the week end the 500 kHz system could come on the TVEPG grabber page. no time now, and tomorrow some non-radio activity.

Still the signals are not all too strong, so a better antenna is required here.

The noise levels, however seem very low here.

News about the grabber script

The script was running smoothly until some time yesterday when it just seemed to stop (freeze).

I suspected the number of files in the backup directory and moved them away, and the script runs again. It looks like the script will have to be able to move the files, eg. to directories per date, or alternatively avoid saving the files when running unattended for extended periods.

I am conferring with Allan (the script author), but I could at least change the moving of the file in the script to a deletion.

Otherwise the script has been running very nicely, I am quite happy with it.
