At the home QTH I usually go with 2 min before TOH and 2 after for the band
unless a compelling reason to change like needing a bottom of the hour for a
particular frequency. Of course DXpedition recording is a different animal;
more is always better.

Stop and think what you're getting yourself into.
118 frequencies (530, 540, 550... 1700 kHz) * 10 minutes (5 minutes before
the hour and 5 minutes after the hour) * 24 = 28,320 minutes.
28320 / 60 (minutes in 1 hour) = 472 hours needed to listen to 1 day of
TOH recordings.
How about only 1 TOH recording?
118 frequencies * 10 minutes = 1,180 minutes.
1180 / 60 = 19.67 hours needed to listen.
How about only record 2 minutes before the TOH and 2 minutes after.
118 frequencies * 4 minutes * 24 = 11,328 minutes.
11328 / 60 = 188.8 hours
How about only 1 TOH 4 minute recording?
118 frequencies * 4 minutes = 472 minutes
472 / 60 = 7.867 hours needed to listen.
Hope you have plenty of time available.

Hello,
I am just curious how other SDR users approach their overnight recordings
from a home location.
My present approach is I record the AM band 2 minutes before the hour and
2 minutes past the hour from 10pm to 5am. I am finding its a long process
to get through the recordings, I am already 4 months behind in my
recordings but I am not complaining. My question is, "What approach are
others following that allows them to get through their recordings in a
timely manner if there is such a thing". I know everyone will approach
this differently as to their own preferences, just looking for options
that I can adopt myself. I know on DX trips, you try to record as much as
possible as to not miss that gem of a catch. Do you have target
frequencies you look at...etc
Your thoughts please are welcomed.
Thanks
