Response to your last comment above.
I find the idea of SDR interesting. Is that now ready for prime time or is it still just a curiosity? I’m not an electronics hobbyist, so I want something that works reliability when I buy it. The link works and that looks cool. Which of the software programs listed in the description do the “cover DC to 3g and can waterfall display a whole amateur band in one display” thing. A few of these, each with its own computer (or Windows 10 tablet?) would cover a huge amount of bandwidth. That would work for me.
LIBRARY: I have spent most of my efforts to date on collection and storage. I designed a MS SQL Server database to do the index thing. I can make that available on my website, if anybody is interested. It was suggested to me that this should be done in MySql and one of those languages that work with it (can’t remember which one right now). But I just don’t have the energy to learn a new DB and language anymore. I will say that having a DB and associated screens would be very helpful in finding what you are looking for when you need it out of 500,00 plus files! Wish somebody else would take my DB design and build screens for it, possibly web based or as a Windows program. As long as they send me a copy!
COMINTEL and RF. If you could recommend some books or links on these subjects I would buy them. I don’t know nearly enough about either.
