<div dir="ltr">While on the topic of logging, as well as a standard off air logger (Surelog, very affordable and works well), I log our station off the mp3 stream at an offsite location on a Raspberry pi and some very simple unix scripting. I store it on a 1TB external 2.5" drive and my plan is to keep this as an archive for ever. You can get around 2 years of data on a 1TB drive and at just under £50 seems a very good deal with no ongoing costs.<div><br></div><div>Geoff</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 March 2017 at 08:08, James Cridland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:james@cridland.net" target="_blank">james@cridland.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">This is nice - have tweeted it and it'll be in my newsletter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Suggestion #1 is to make it clear how much space this will take on a local drive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Suggestion #2 is to archive to Amazon S3 or similar (or point to a cron job that will do this for you). Please don't delete archives - instead, Amazon Glacier will be a really cheap place to store every single second of your radio station that was ever broadcast. Imagine how awesome that would be.</p>
