Log of Sept 27th at 22.40 to 23.45 UT taken in Cape Canaveral, NJ, and Detroit MI remote SDR'

re Bob's question, can tell someone with English language background in the SDR / Perseus community about correct SDR receiver alignement / calibration and read-out etc.,

and check action frequencies against reliable broadcaster like BBC WOF, OMA, SNG, ASC and so on - on standard fq format WHV WWVH, and especially to mention China mainland excellent shortwave radio work these days, with precise x.000 kHz outlets on their much amount of 500 kW beasts.

Note to compare with DXing in the 70ties in the past, when used Collins 390A or 391 after WWII state of the art units. Calibrated with a 5 kHz / 1 kHz calibrator reading in these era.

PERSEUS unit is the best ever used correct rx calibration here since appeared from Italy on Christmas in 2008 year.

Tonight occurs excellent and early good reception worldwide, when checked remote SDR in Cape Canaveral FL, NJ and MI units:
