Additionally you can find OTA captures around the net which can be
read the same way a USRP is, but offline.  Michael Gray had a bunch,
but his website seems to be down since he died.  I'm not sure if
anyone saved those or not.  I think there are a bunch of GSM captures
floating around too.

Also, If you are researching something specific you can reach out to
others in the community doing similar research and see if they can
capture a specific data set for you.
