Summary

 Enhanced recording scripts, updated location/time settings, and automated data acquisition and scheduling. Explored alternative SDR solutions.

Accomplishments

Recording Scripts:  
 - Auto-creation of directories, termination of existing ⁠ rtl_fm ⁠ processes, absolute path usage, and detailed logging.

Script Updates: 
 - Updated ⁠ new.py ⁠ with corrected coordinates, timezone (EST), noise command, and PNG management.

SDR Integration:  
 - Connected SDR to gpredict, adjusted NOAA15 frequency, and tested gqrx as an alternative.

Data Pipeline:  
 - Created “Emir” folder, developed ⁠ n2yo.py ⁠ for data scraping, used ⁠ filter.py ⁠ to refine data, scheduled recordings with ⁠ schedule.py ⁠, and automated the workflow with ⁠ runall.py ⁠.

To Do

 -Test and debug record.py ⁠and automation loop.
 -Resolve remaining SDR and scheduling issues.
 -Fine-tune data processing and logging.
