Effects of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse upon reception of North American signals in the medium-wave broadcast band, using software defined radio files recorded in the Monterrey area, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, Part 2

Recorded by: Manuel F. Caballero, XE2NNS Grid square of location recorded: DL95VP Maximum obscuration of the sun was 95.4% at 1824UT on 8 April 2024. These data files are recordings of the entire medium wave broadcast band (535-1705kHz) made during the total solar eclipse of 8 April 2024 from 1701 to 1950UT from the Monterrey area, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. They are part of a set of such recordings made on 7 April, 2024 from 1700 to 2000UT and during various time periods on 8 April, 2024 between 0000 and 2025UT. Data Quality: Generally fair, but with many strong spurious carriers and some data dropouts <10 second duration. Data files are .wav format, but the archived files are .zip, with about five .wav files packaged together in each .zip file, using the prefix “XE2NNS-wideband_50_2050kHz_“. As the total files recorded during the solar eclipse exceeded the Zenodo 50GB limit, the remainder of the dataset is found in “Effects of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse upon reception of North American signals in the medium-wave broadcast band, using software defined radio files recorded in the Monterrey area, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, Part 1”. Please see that record also for software and for supporting documentation. The recordings not included here or in Part 1 are available by contacting HamSCI at [e-mail], if you require this data. Antenna: MLA-30+ loop antenna (oriented at 76-256degrees) Receiver: SDRPlay RSP1A using RF gain of 9.8dB, with center frequency 1050kHz, recording a 2000kHz wide passband, using SDRUno software. Hardware was not locked to a frequency standard. Recording computer time was set by Meinberg NTP (time and date in recordings used UTC).
