Paul,

I scoured the internet near and far for the answer.  I found a excel
spreadsheet that did the calculation.

60 minutes of recording at 192 kbit (I'm assuming 44.1khz sample rate)
is about 84.4mb.

If my math is correct, you need over 14GB of storage per day for all 7
stations.  So, for 90 days, 1.2TB of storage.  That is filling your hard
drives up to the rim...:)

I am sure glad I'm only recording 1 stations on my logging software.

Sam
