Ok, so that begs the question, how do we convert an event to a 16 bit wave
file? Actually, this is a question that has more implications, as some
gentleman actually took USGS data and did convert it to a wave file, then
sped it up and is using it as an art exhibit. See:
http://www.jtbullitt.com/index.html
So, if anyone knows how to convert events, or even WinSDR data to a "wave"
file, it can be sped up and I think that one day's worth was approximately 4
minutes of sound.
Interesting.
