I need more editing capability than Total Recorder can give, as basically lets
you trim a recording and adjust the volume.
I need to be able to:
- highpass filter to remove ;pw frequency rumble from channels
- notch out hets and RFI
- plot the spectrum to see if it is mis-shaped
Perhaps but Sport (NZ) is my most regular DU.

Ditto for me. Below 900 kHz, I've never been anywhere near happy with a 160'
DKAZ. That is evident with stand alone DKAZ'es and In direct comparisons with
Beverages, there was no contest at all.
I wonder if the PEI group has done a comparison?

I've not lost a minute of DX with SDR's in over a decade of SDR usage.
I'm sure endless "debate" (of that is the word) can occur, but I'm content to
use actual results as a measurement.

channel at a
time Chuck? That seems a very lengthy way to check the morning's
files. Less expensive than buying a hundred R8's and pulsing through
audio recordings certainly.Perhaps I am being more obtuse than usual.

While the stands won't weather high winds on the Rockwork cliffs, they will
hold up better in moderate wind if you add some weight like wrap-around leg
weights (such as used for exercising).

I'd not think of using the painter;s extension poles. They are a bit flimsy and
too short for a DKAZ or flag/loop.
The Jackite poles are fairly common in ham circles. I've owned 4 of them for at
least 10 years without problems.
I also own a handful of other fiberglass poles and they
