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 in Ridgeland, MS, USA, Part 2

Recorded by: George Thomas, W5JDX Grid square of location recorded: EM42wk Maximum obscuration of the sun was 89.8% at 1833UT 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 1720 to 1956UT from Ridgeland, MS, USA. Data Quality: Because IF AGC was checked (enabled) in the SDRUno Main Settings window, signal strength readings of stations heard may not be accurate. There are also some short data dropouts (~10 seconds), about 4 per hour, and some spurious carriers Data files are .wav format, but the archived files are .zip, with about four .wav files packaged together in each .zip file, using the prefix “W5JDX-wideband_7_2007kHz_“. 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 in Ridgeland, MS, USA, Part 1”. Please see that record for software and for supporting documentation.
