Request for Comment: Creating a binary format output for rtl_power

Hello, I am working on making a binary format for rtl_power to save space on my server for observing the spectrum. I am wondering if anyone else would be interested in this idea. I am hoping keep the same format in terms of how the data is organized in the file but instead of using text use some form of binary format. For example for the date and time I think using a unix epoch timestamp would work. I am hoping to receive any comments or criticism. Thanks, KD9KCK
