I think you are making this to difficult. FACTS: BPL will cause noise across the entire HF Spectrum. Hams only use selected portions of this spectrum. There is no easy way to digitize the entire spectrum. Radio Jove software will record signal strength based upon the noise level (don't need to

Perhaps the amateur radio telescope software would work. Look at this web page, http://radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov/ they have a kit but why not use a K1 set to one (each for a day) QRP frequencies. More info here http://my.integritynet.com.au/purdic/radio-telescope.htm Perhaps several of us

I have been building a collection of DDS receivers for this task, using boards from Elektor Electronics. They are RS232 controlled for frequency. They are good general coverage receivers, though I think they begin to tail off above 15 to 12M, as they use a 50MHz clock. It has been a real

I have strong opinions about doing the job with the right tool. A better approach is to do wideband surveillance using more appropriate tools. One could use the GnuRadio/USRP widget or the DCP-1/KD6OZH widget to begin this job quite nicely. Since you really want to demonstrate the impact of

Jeff and all, I have no references to any program that will do the entire job -- but if you can get the audio into the computer soundcard, I can recommend 'Total Recorder' for recording it to a file, if your computer can make any sort of sound, Total Recorder can capture it fo you. See
