Between 1600 – 2015 UTC on August 21, 2017, as the solar eclipse swept across the nation, I captured much of the lower 2 MHz of the radio frequency spectrum.\u00a0 I used a Microtelecom Perseus SDR<\/a>, a 130′ inverted L with four radials, and lots of disk space.\u00a0 In doing so, I have created a permanent record of this portion of the RF spectrum during the solar eclipse.<\/p>\n

I am making the spectrum capture files<\/a> available for your analysis and research.\u00a0 Each file contains a 5 minute segment.\u00a0 If you download a group of files, they will play in succession.<\/p>\n

You can use the demo version of the Perseus software<\/a> or any other software that can read the Perseus data, such as Linrad<\/a> or HDSDR<\/a>.\u00a0 You cannot use just an audio player to play the files, even though they have .wav extensions.<\/p>\n

Should you perform any analysis or otherwise make use of the files, I’d like to hear from you in the comments below.<\/p>\n
